Animal
Services and Assistance Programs (A.S.A.P.), in partnership with Hartland Veterinary Clinic, is offering low-cost pet
microchipping and vaccinations on Saturday September 29th from 2 to 5 p.m. at
Hartland Veterinary Clinic (15015 US Highway 14 – intersection of Rose Farm Rd.
and Route 14) in Woodstock.
Microchipping involves implanting a small device (about the size of a grain of rice) under an animal's skin – it is a quick and painless procedure. Microchips provide a permanent method of identification in case an animal is lost – a veterinarian, animal shelter, or animal control officer can easily scan the microchip to locate the animal's owner.
A microchip greatly improves the odds a lost pet will be reunited with its family. A dog with a microchip is 2 1/2 times more likely to be returned (compared to a dog without a microchip). A cat with a microchip is 20 times more likely to be reunited with its family than one without!
Microchips are $20, which includes registration in the owner’s name. All cats being microchipped will receive a free nail trim courtesy of A.S.A.P.
Vaccinations will be available for $10 per vaccine; Rabies, Canine Distemper combination, and Feline Distemper combination will be available. (Dog registration fees, which are required in McHenry County, are separate and payable at the time of rabies vaccination.)
To make an appointment for your pet to be microchipped or vaccinated at this event call A.S.A.P. at 815-568-2921. Appointments are preferred, and required when multiple pets are coming from one household; walk-ins are welcome and will be taken as time allows. Dogs must be brought to the event on a leash, and cats in a secure carrier.
Animal Services and Assistance Programs is a non-profit animal rescue organization based in Marengo, offering programs for Trap-Neuter-Release of community cats, as well as barn cat placement and pet adoption programs. All proceeds from this event will support A.S.A.P.’s programs.
