The Hall County Animal Shelter and Laurel Park Dog Park now have a new tool for pet owners and lost pets to get reunited.
Hall County Animal Services announced that public microchip scanning stations had been installed at the shelter and dog park to help get families find lost pets faster, even if they don’t live in Hall County.
“We frequently find lost animals that already have microchips. Some animals are Hall County residents, while others have crossed state lines,” Hall County Animal Shelter Manager Stephanie Maloch said. “These stations will provide a direct way for people who find a lost pet to identify its owner and help get the animal home, which is also why it’s so important to ensure the contact information linked to your pet’s microchip is up to date, and that the chip is still active and working.”
