Microchipping only $10

To help busy pet owners get identification for their pets, the Fond du Lac Humane Society plans to celebrate Tag Day on Saturday, April 5th by micro-chipping pets at the shelter at 652 Triangle Road and offering a special price of only $10.00 per pet.

Micro-chips are only about the size of a grain of rice, which is implanted safely and permanently under your pets skin, without the need for anaesthetic. A unique ID number is stored permanently inside the animal, where it can not be lost or distorted. Once implanted, the micro-chip remains inactive until read with a scanner. “We scan every pet that comes through our doors and micro-chips are becoming more and more popular”, said Lucy. Micro-chips are available at the Humane Society and most local veterinary offices. Please ask your vet about the advantages of micro-chipping your pets.

“We are very excited about the potential impact these activities will have on reducing strays in our community” says Lucy. “By participating in this national campaign, the Fond du Lac Humane Society is showing their commitment to getting lost pets home”.

If your pet does become lost, get moving. The sooner you begin your search, the better your chances of finding your pet. Visit your local shelter frequently, only you will truly be able to know what your pet looks like. Use pictures of your pet to make posters and display them all over the neighborhood. Place ads and photos in local newspapers, and watch the found ads, and respond to any that sound close to your pets description. Call local radio stations with detailed descriptions and how to contact you.
