APPLYIt's heartbreaking knowing many lost pets in your care may never return home. You see hundreds of lost pets in your facility that are obviously well cared for but not identified. Implementing a microchip and scanning program at your facility can reduce lost pets in your community and increase your RTO rates. Avid® pet recovery solutions help reunite thousands of lost pets with their families every week!
How many of your adopting patrons, once they’ve taken the pet from your shelter, will not keep visible identification on their new pet? Some of these adopted pets may become lost and end up back in your shelter. Each year an estimated 3 to 4 million pets are euthanized (Source: ASPCA) and although visual identification such as a collar or custom tag are the easiest solutions to establish identification most pets have no form of identification. Did you know that more pets die because their owners didn't identify them than from all infectious diseases combined? A microchipped pet allows you to contact the owner or alternate, helping your shelter do everything possible to return lost pets to their owners.
Like many municipal shelters, animal control facilities and humane societies across the United States your facility experiences overcrowding and struggles with limited resources. Your facility receives hundreds of lost or displaced pets each week and can only house and care for them for a short period of time. Implementing a microchip and scanning program at your facility can reduce a pets stay to several hours, not days, which saves taxpayers, donors and shelters like yours an average of $120.00 per animal in kennel fees. Shelters do their very best to locate owners, but if a pet has no form of identification, there's not much they can do. Begin protecting the pets in your shelter by implementing a microchip and scanning program at your facility.
