Multiple Organizations Host Free Microchipping Events Nationwide

Animal welfare organizations across the U.S. are expanding access to pet microchipping to help reunite lost pets with their owners more efficiently. The Washington County Humane Society in Wisconsin has installed a 24-hour Microchip Scan Station, enabling people to identify lost pets outside of operational hours and potentially avoid the stress of shelter surrender for animals. Meanwhile, cities like Victorville, California, and Mishawaka, Indiana, are hosting free microchipping clinics and events, offering microchips and other services to local residents. These initiatives often include additional benefits, such as free pet licensing, vaccinations, and adoptions, aiming to increase responsible pet ownership and facilitate faster returns of lost pets.
