Sometimes, animals come to our shelter who have already been rescued once. To make sure their stories are never lost, we microchip every one of our shelter residents. A microchip is a tiny device, no larger than a grain of rice. It’s unnoticeable to the animal, but invaluable to the person searching for them — or to the shelter team who can access all the animal’s information when found. A chip is like a passport that can never be lost. It stores data about sterilization and vaccinations. The chip is placed under the skin, causes no discomfort, and lasts a lifetime. Inside it is a unique number that’s registered in a national database along with the animal’s medical and rescue history.
If an animal goes missing, scanning the chip helps identify and reunite them with their family. If a street dog or cat turns out to already be sterilized, they won’t be captured again. This is how we maintain a humane, transparent, and modern system for tracking animals in our cities. At our shelter, every animal is microchipped before adoption or release. But our stock of chips is running low — and animals keep arriving. We need your help to buy a new batch and keep this important work going.
