San Diego Humane Society is offering free microchipping on select days in June for dogs and cats in anticipation of the July 4th holiday, when shelters typically see a substantial increase in lost pets. July 4th is a festive day of celebration for people, but it can be a terrifying time for our pets due to the loud noises associated with fireworks. Also, pets spooked by the noise have been known to jump fences out of fear, resulting in a higher number of stray animals entering the shelter after July 4th. To schedule an interview or for more information, contact Dariel Walker at 619-250-6801 or [email protected].
