With more than 20,000 stray pets entering Pima County shelters each year, three ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ animal welfare agencies have joined forces to bring free micro-chipping to pet owners.
After receiving 1,000 donated microchips from the American Kennel Club, Pima Animal Care Center teamed up with the Humane Society of Southern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and No Kill Pima County for a community wide “Microchip Marathon,†said Vanessa Ford, a HSSA spokeswoman.
On June 24 from 9 a.m. to noon, free micro-chipping will be available at the following locations while supplies last:
- Companions for Life Center, 3465 E. Kleindale Road.

- Marana Community Center, 13250 N. Lon Adams Road.
- Twin Peaks Veterinary Clinic, 7555 W. Twin Peaks Road.
