If You Lost a Pet

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your pet is microchipped, make sure your microchip information is up to date as soon as possible by calling the microchip company or agency where the chip was registered. Shelters and veterinarians scan the animal for a microchip as soon as the animals arrive so that they can contact the owner. When you find your pet, be sure to microchip your pet if they do not have one and place an animal license tag or ID tag on your pet’s collar. Always keep your contact information with the microchip company up to date.
