⚠️ CHECK YOUR PET’S MICROCHIP REGISTRATION ⚠️
Yesterday I received yet another message from a microchip company about a dog I adopted out several years ago that had been picked up and taken to the Portland Animal Shelter.
The problem?
The family never registered the microchip in their name, so the shelter had no way to contact the owner.
PLEASE — check your pet’s microchip registration and make sure all information is current and up to date.
🐾 Microchip numbers ARE listed on all adoption and rescue medical paperwork.
🐾 Your veterinarian should also have the number in their system.
🐾 If you do not know the number, ask your vet to scan your pet and check the registration information.
🐾 If your pet’s chip is NOT registered, you can register it FREE at FreeChipRegistry.com.
A microchip ONLY works if the information attached to it is accurate and up to date.
Being a responsible pet parent means making sure that if your pet ever gets out, runs off, or becomes lost, they can be reunited with you quickly and safely.
Please take 5 minutes today to check your pets’ information. It could make all the difference. ❤️🐶🐱
