A discounted microchip event will be available to the public as part of “Pups in the Park” on September 21.
The microchip service will be available for a special rate of $10. Owners can bring their dog(s) to Panther Creek Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day. Staff will be set up inside the Feather Landing Shelter.
A microchip will permanently identify your pet when they get lost or if they’re ever stolen. No surgery or anesthesia is required to implant the device.
It is a small, electronic chip enclosed in a glass cylinder that is about the same size as a grain of rice. It functions as a radio-frequency transponder that carries a unique identification number. When the microchip is scanned by a vet or shelter, it transmits the ID number. The microchip does not have a battery or any moving parts.
Contact the Animal Shelter with any questions at 270-685-8275 or [email protected].
