Microchip HUGE WIN. 🩷
If you need a reminder as to why microchips are SO important... here it is!
In October, Cowboy went missing after he jumped out of a shopping cart at a local store. Something must have spooked him to do so and he took off with his parents unable to catch him. They weren't from the area and quickly took to social media to try and find him. But, they sadly had no luck.
Eight months later, Cowboy showed up in a local Good Samaritan's yard. When our APO officer scanned him for a microchip - DING! - a number appeared. After contacting the chip company and piecing everything together, we realized it was in fact Cowboy!
Our staff called the family and they were overjoyed he was safe and sound. They literally drove from Texas overnight to pick him up and take him home for good! We are so happy for Cowboy and his family!
We encourage everyone to microchip their pets! MAC hosts weekly microchip clinics for low-cost and often we have pop-up clinics where we do them for FREE! Learn more at mckameyanimalcenter.org/vaccine-microchip-clinics/
