Tyler Animal Shelter Offering Free Microchipping For Rest of 2021

Even the thought of losing your pet is heartbreaking, and the Tyler Animal Control and Shelter is doing everything they can to help end that. Announced on a social media post earlier this month the great news is due to a generous donation that was made.

The post didn't say who made it possible for the free microchipping for animals but what a generous gift for an area that deals with too many animals being separated from their owners.

Why Is it So Important to Get Your Pet Microchipped

Microchipping is the only permanent identification for your pets, but it does have to be properly registered. That's why it's worth making an appointment with Tyler Animal Control and Shelter to make sure if your pet does get away from you you have a better chance of being reunited.
