Pet microchip event set Saturday

The Humane Society of Putnam County is sponsoring a low-cost microchip clinic for dogs owned by Putnam County residents.

The clinic will take place from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, June 10 in the parking lot in front of Rescued Treasures at 1021 Indianapolis Rd. (next to Goodwill).

Cost is $10 per dog, payable by cash or check. There is no limit on the number of dogs per family that may be microchipped but the HSPC asks that residents only bring as many dogs as they can handle.

Dog owners should bring proof of their dog’s rabies vaccination. Proof can be a current rabies tag or if the dog has a three-year vaccination, a veterinarian’s form indicating that the dog is current on its rabies shots will be necessary. All dogs should be on a non-retractable leash. 

On the same day the Humane Society of Putnam County will be sponsoring a mobile pet adoption in front of Rescued Treasures. Times for the mobile pet adoption will be 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
