ASPCA: Lost Pets
We are kicking off our #Returntohomechallenge ! One in three pets lost; that’s a scary statistic. One of the best ways is to make sure your pet is microchipped. For the month of October, the Alaska SPCA will provide FREE microchipping for all spay, neuter, dental, procedures, and exams. (please note, microchipping is not available in the Vaccine Clinic). This has been made possible by Nano Fi, our microchip partner. Watch this space for more ideas on how to make sure your pet gets back to you. #PetcoLovePartner #PetcoLoveLost #MaddiesFund #NanoFi
