Let’s help keep pets out of shelters
Did you know the pets you microchip have triple the chance of being reunited with their owners if they end up in a shelter!
Even with these promising odds, an estimated 10 million pets go missing each year and our nation’s shelters are full, adoption rates are dropping, and resources are tapped.

Good Samaritans Help
With Happy Reunions Every Day
- Helpful neighbors call the number on the lost pet’s collar tag. They will also go the extra step and take the pet to a vet clinic or call animal control for the pet to be scanned for a microchip.
- But clinics are not always open, and Animal Control Officers have large jurisdictions and cannot be everywhere at once.

Introducing
Check The Chip Scanning Stations
Forward-thinking animal welfare organizations like Baltimore County and Johnson County Community Cats have set set-up self-help Check The Chip Scanning Stations in their communities!
This way, Good Samaritans can scan lost pets any time of day, every day, and help get them back home with their families without involving pet care professionals.
By keeping these lost pets out of shelters in the first place, animal welfare organizations can focus on neglected or surrendered pets under their care!

What A Great Idea!
Here’s How Check The Chip Scanning Stations Work
Find a Location
Community parks and outside of firehouses or veterinary clinics are great locations to consider. An area with existing security cameras and lighting is a plus.
Get Equipped
You will need a universal scanner in a junction box with a retractable clothesline and weather-resistant Scanning Instructions.
List of Supplies
Here is a full list of supplies you will need and helpful scanning instructions you can economically print on aluminum signs at signs.com using these specs.
Inform The Public
Promote your new scanning station on social media and on the local news so the public knows where they are located and how to use them.
Provide Direction
Direct pet owners to Microchip Registry Lookup or have them contact your local animal services/shelter to report the pet found.
Keep Your Good Works Going
Volunteers or even community servants like ACOs or police patrol can monitor and replace batteries as needed. Community microchipping clinics help reinforce your Scanning Stations, too!
