Addison County Humane Society Now offers Microchipping!
Permanently identify your pet with a MicroChip ID by AVID.
Only $20 per animal!
Did you know that ACHS and most other area shelters are now scanning all incoming animals for microchips?
Visual tags often become lost, misplaced or obsolete. The best strategy is to use
a microchip as the primary, permanent identification and to use a collar-tag as a
visual, secondary back up. This will make it possible for anyone to identify a
lost pet at a glance yet protect the pet when its tag has been lost. Permanent
microchip identification will also make it possible to reclaim stolen pets.
A.V.I.D. stands for American Veterinary Identification Devices. The AVID microchip
is a tiny computer chip which has an identification number programmed into it.
The chip is encased in a smooth, strong biocompatible glass, and is small enough
to fit into a hypodermic needle. Once an animal is injected with the chip, he
can be identified throughout his life by this one-of-a-kind number. His
identification cannot be lost, altered or intentionally removed.
Please call us for more information.
