Microchipping This Weekend

This Saturday and Sunday at Petco Pearl City (11am to 4pm) during their national adoption weekend, the Oahu SPCA will be offering microchipping services for your pets.  It costs a mere $24.95, but it could save your pet's life one day!  Not to mention all proceeds go to the shelter to help our animals find forever homes...

Read more about microchips here in a 2010 blog post by the Oahu SPCA.

And... read a February 2011 story of a dog named Bear who was lost in Sacramento, CA and ended up in Lakewood, WA - 715 miles away!  Bear's microchip allowed the Tacoma Humane Society to contact a very relieved Bryan Rapozo, who drove all the way to Washington to reclaim his beloved companion.
