Dallas Animal Services (DAS) launches its monthly low-cost Microchip Clinic this Saturday, Feb. 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost is $15 per animal and includes registration. DAS will hold its Microchip Clinics the last Saturday of every month.
In the procedure, which takes less than 5 minutes, a microchip the size of a grain of rice is inserted just under the skin between the animal’s shoulder blades. The small chip is engraved with an exclusive ID number that identifies the animal when a special scanner is used. The chip also includes a toll-free phone number to call, and operators are on hand 24 hours a day to contact the pet’s owner.
Dallas Animal Services & Adoption Center is located at 1818 N. Westmoreland at I-30, just minutes west of downtown Dallas. For more information, call 214-670-8246 or 214-671-0249, or visit www.DallasAnimalServices.com.

This week’s Feature Pet is Sadie, an adorable 12-week old Australian Shepherd. Will someone give her a home? As with all DAS animals for adoption, she’s been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated – and just look at that little paw wrapped around Kent’s arm, she’s clearly a little sweetie!
Dallas Animal Services has many wonderful pets available for adoption! Fees are only $85 for dogs and $55 for cats - and that includes initial vaccinations, spay or neuter, and microchip! Click HERE to see just a few of the dogs and cats looking for new homes.
Picture This –
In FY 2006-2007, the City of Dallas had no choice but to euthanize 26,979 unwanted pets. It would take 550 DART buses to transport that same number of people - or 63 Boeing 747 jets!
