Celebrating National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week
Shelter pets come with a surprising number of perks! Most adopted pets have already received at least their first round of vaccinations, and many are spayed or neutered before adoption. That means you’re welcoming a pet who has already received essential veterinary care to start life with you on the right paw.
Check the Chip Day: Protect Your Pet with a Microchip
A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that’s placed just under the skin—usually between the shoulder blades. Each chip carries a unique identification number that’s registered to you, the pet’s owner, in a secure database. If your pet is ever found and scanned at a vet clinic or shelter, that number links directly back to you.
