Identification is your pet's ticket home! Micro-Chipping dramatically increases lost-pet recovery and saves thousands of lives. Make sure your pet does not become a statistic by micro-chipping them at the HSCA.
The micro-chip is a tiny electronic capsule that is embedded under the pet's skin. When a pet is found, any agency with a scanner, including many animal care and control agencies, veterinary clinics, and research labs, can quickly identify a code that links the animal to its owner through a database. For your pet's sake, show you care by micro-chipping.
The cost of chipping is $20 per pet. Registration into the national database is now free of charge. To schedule an appointment, please call the shelter at (219) 922-3811. Proof of current vaccinations will be required. Proceeds from our "Chip-a-Thons" underwrite the cost of micro-chipping all newly adopted animals of the HSCA.
