Homeward Pet Adoption Center wants your pet to have the best form of identification available to help them find their way home in the event they are ever lost. Now is the perfect time to microchip your family cat or dog. More pets go missing around the 4th of July than any other time of year, scared by noisy fireworks. According to national statistics, animal control officials across the country see a 30-60% increase in lost pets each year between July 4th and 6th. In fact, July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year for many shelters.
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.

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 euthanize. 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.
