Staff and volunteers will direct you to the microchipping station upon arrival.  Due to COVID-19 precautions, only one person can accompany a pet outside the vehicle, and face masks are required.  Dogs must be on leashes and cats in hard-sided carriers, with one cat per carrier.

“During the busy holiday season, we want to ensure pets have the opportunity for a safe return home if they become lost,” said PCAS Director Mike Shumate.  “Microchips are a critical tool for reuniting lost animals, and we’re thankful to our rescue partners for their contributions to this important initiative.”

This event is made possible through generous donations from Animal Welfare and Rescue in Zephyrhills and Love to the Rescue in Wesley Chapel.
