Home for the Holidays - Microchip Special
Wondering what your pet wants for Christmas?
Well, we have the answer for you… all pets want a microchip! An estimated 10 million dogs and cats go missing in the U.S. every year and microchips can be a very important safety measure in making sure your pet comes home if they’re ever lost, containing your pet’s owner’s phone number, name, and address.
From December 22 to December 31st, you can come by the Cheyenne Animal Shelter with your pet and get them microchipped for only $15!
*All chips will be registered as soon as they are entered into our system.
