Microchipping
HSI offers pet microchipping to the public during the hours that the adoption center is open. No appointment is necessary. The price per pet is only $20 and includes registration.
No matter how responsible you are or how well-behaved your pet is, it is very possible that one day they may become lost or, worse yet, stolen. While collars can fall off and tattoos can be removed, pet microchip identification is a permanent way to ensure that if your pet goes missing, the authorities can trace the ownership of the animal back to you.
More information on microchipping from the AVMA is available here.
Indianapolis Animal Ordinance:
According to the Indianapolis/Marion County Revised Code of the Consolidated City and County, Sec. 531-202, a person who owns a dog or cat in the city shall ensure that it bears a permanent means of identification at all times, such that the owner of a lost or stolen dog or cat can be ascertained quickly and easily. The means of identification required shall include either: a microchip implanted in the dog or cat which bears a registered identification number; or, a permanent tag attached to a durable collar worn at all times by the dog or cat, and bearing the owner's current name, address and telephone number.
