Homeward Pet Adoption Center wants your pet to have the best form of identification available.  A microchip is a permanent form of ID that can never be separated from your pet, and your pet’s best chance of being returned home safely should he ever become lost.  It is smaller than a grain of rice and is injected under the animal’s skin between the shoulder blades.  Each chip has a unique number and is registered in a national database with the owner’s name, address and contact information. Homeward Pet will include free registration of each microchip during this two-day event.

Many happy reunions result from the use of microchips and proper registration! For example, a local family found a stray cat that had set up house under their porch.  Once they were able to catch her and bring her in, Homeward Pet was able to scan for a microchip, revealing her family was not far away.  Bella’s family had been looking for her for months and was so relieved to know she was safe and coming home.  Microchips work!!

Homeward Pet Adoption Center is a non-profit, no-kill shelter serving the Greater Seattle area since 1990. We give homeless animals a second chance and have matched over 22,000 companion animals with loving, safe, forever families. 40% of the animals at Homeward Pet are surrendered by their former owners; the other 60% are rescued from shelters that are often forced to resort to euthanization.  While the animals in our shelter wait to be adopted, over 350 volunteers make sure their basic needs are met and give them plenty of love and attention. For some of our animals, that is more than they have ever known.
