In 2016, just 2% of stray cats and 34% of stray dogs admitted to HHHS were reclaimed by their owners. HHHS provides low-cost microchips as a way of hopefully getting lost pets reunited with their owners as quickly as possible. Some studies indicate that a lost pet’s chances of being reunited with their owners are 20 times higher if they have a microchip.
Justin Broker, Director of Community Engagement at HHHS said, “there aren’t many low-cost resources for pet owners in our area. Animals are often relinquished to us because of the financial responsibility. We encourage pet owners to take advantage of this opportunity to provide necessary services for their pets so hopefully they can live long healthy lives in their homes.”
Dogs attending Tag Day must be leashed at all times. Cats must be brought in a carrier. There is no need for an appointment. Individuals who have questions can contact Helping Hands Humane Society at (785) 233-7325.
