In recognition of June as Pet Preparedness and Microchip Your Pet Month, Lee County Domestic Animal Services is offering free microchipping to help ensure pets are safe and easily identifiable during hurricane season.
Now through July 3, pet owners can receive this no-cost service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at Lee County Domestic Animal Services, 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers.Â
No appointments are necessary.Â
Visit www.leelostpets.com or call 239-533-7387 for more information. Owners must bring dogs on non-retractable leashes and cats in hard-sided carriers.
In addition, Animal Services will host a special microchip event from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, June 28, just ahead of Fourth of July celebrations—an especially risky time for lost pets due to fireworks. During the event, residents can have their pets microchipped or scanned to confirm their contact information is up to date.
