PETS
Microchipping and licensing event for pets
National Pet Week
Posted
National Pet ID Week is here and Maricopa County Animal Care & Control is excited to help make sure our local dogs have proper identification.
Pet homelessness is a community issue that requires collaborative community engagement. MCACC is hosting “Tag Your Wag: Microchipping & Licensing Event” from April 17-21. Both new licenses and microchips will be provided with waived fees thanks to a generous grant awarded to MCACC.
“Less than 20% of stray dogs who come into the shelter have a microchip, so it’s difficult for them to be returned to their owner. Both microchipping and licensing will help keep your pets safe and at home,” said Kim Powell, MCACC communications Oofficer.
Microchipping Details
Community dog event focusing on microchipping and providing new licenses
First come, first serve with a goal of 60 microchips per day
Microchips will be provided from 11am-12pm Monday, April 17 to Friday, April 21, only at the West shelter, 2500 S. 27th Ave.
Limit 2 pets per owner
Licensing Details
New licenses will be available at no cost to you (please bring proof of Rabies vaccine) during regular business hours April 17-21 from 12-6pm at both shelter locations.
Dogs do not have to be there to acquire a new license. Individuals should not bring a dog to the shelter during normal business hours.
There are many benefits to having pets microchipped and licensed, including a free ride home if a pet is ever lost and picked up by an Animal Control officer.
