If you know me at all, you know I’m basically living in a tiny dog nation. Four little yappers, four big personalities, and somehow they all think they’re the boss. I’d do anything to keep my furry monsters safe — and that’s why what Lee County Domestic Animal Services is doing this December is straight-up amazing.
According to a press release, all month long, from Dec. 1 through Dec. 30, Lee County Domestic Animal Services is offering FREE microchipping for pets. Yep, FREE. Zero dollars. Just show up Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. No appointment, no stress, just a quick poke and boom: your pet is officially trackable like a four-legged treasure.
They’re even hosting a special microchip event on Wednesday, Dec. 10, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Outreach Center at Miromar Outlets in Estero. You can get your pet microchipped OR have their existing chip scanned to make sure your info is up to date. (Because honestly, half of us would forget to update it if we moved, and you KNOW that’s true.)
Lee County Pets:
Animal Services Director Pablo Adorno said it best: “Microchipping is a simple yet vital step to ensure your pet can be identified and returned home quickly if lost.” And look, he’s right. If one of my little gremlins ever escaped, I’d be running around the neighborhood like a dramatic movie scene. Microchips mean faster reunions, fewer tears, and way more happy tail wags…
