While vaccines protect your pets from certain diseases, microchipping them can protect you from a broken heart. According to a 2021 survey, approximately one-third of pets will go missing at one point in their lifetime, with 80 percent never reuniting with their owners. While some are adopted, millions are euthanized each year as a way to control the population at animal shelters. Microchipping your pets increases the likelihood that you may be able to reunite with your furry friend. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, only 1.8 percent of all stray dogs and cats taken to participating shelters are microchipped.

The Wisconsin Humane Society-Door County Campus is hosting a special event on January 12th from 2-4 p.m. to allow you to have your pets microchipped and vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, FVRCP, and Bordetella for a reduced price.
