Help your pet find its way home!
Sadly, statistics indicate that missing pets rarely find their way home. Approximately 10 million pets are lost or stolen in the United States each year, and more than 6 million wind up in the nation’s animal shelters. Given that dogs and cats in shelters without ID are much less likely to be reunited with their owners, identification is the only way these lost pets will find their way home.
BRHA wants to reduce those sad numbers and for “National Pet ID Week” will be offering reduced prices on micro-chipping and engraved ID Tags. Tuesday, April 19th through Saturday, April 23rd during normal business hours, the public may purchase engraved ID tags for $8-$10 and have their pet micro-chipped for $30…both, with no appointment needed.
Today and every day, make sure your pets are equipped in the event they get separated from you. It can be truly heartbreaking to lose a pet, but by tagging and micro-chipping you are more likely to reunite with your four-legged family member!
