page. CHANGE: After ownership has been
transferred from WRAP to the new owner, you must provide Barbara with: Complete name, address, and phone

is submitted. Neither you as the rescuer nor the new owner needs to contact
Avid. When the 800 number on the tag is called, the owner's name will
come up, with rescuer and Barbara listed as backup. Every WRAP
