Microchip Registry

Residents of Whiteside County can now be reunited with their pets quickly and easily, at no cost, through our Microchip Safety Net Program.  Lost pets can be traced back to their owners quickly if the pet is mircochipped and the information is readily available.  Not all pet owners keep their pet's information updated, however, and that can lead to delays or to the pet not being returned to the owner.  Under our program, we offer a free registry to owners residing in Whiteside County.  Some microchip companies charge a fee for updating information, but pets may be registered with Happy Tails free of charge, and there is no fee for updates.

Register in person at the shelter, by phone, or by downloading the Microchip Safety Net Program form and sending it to us.
