From June 22nd–28th, you can bring your pet to Ark-Valley Humane Society’s Buena Vista shelter (701 Gregg Drive) to receive a free microchip check, free microchip insertion, and a free engraved pet ID tag.
The open hours for this clinic are from 1:00-4:00PM on a first come-first-serve basis. Upon arrival, pet owners should leave their pets in their vehicles and check in at the front desk. The shelter asks that cats be brought in secure carriers and dogs be kept on leashes.
Why should you take advantage of this free clinic? Microchips and pet ID tags are two of the most effective tools for helping lost pets find their way back home. Read below to learn more about these free services and how they can help keep your pet safe.
*While AVHS is able to scan your pet for a microchip and provide your with their microchip ID number as well as the company your pet’s microchip is registered with, we are NOT able to update contact information on existing microchips or provide you with the contact information currently on the microchip. Pet owners must update any contact information associated with their pets microchip directly with the microchip company.
