Pet parents will check in using a waitlist system upon arrival then stay in their vehicle with their pet & be helped according to when they arrived. When it is your pet's turn, we will message you to bring your pet to us.

Microchips will be implanted by volunteer vet techs who also do it as their day jobs. Your pet will be back to you just as soon as they're chipped!

We will have treats & muzzles to use for pet & volunteer safety as needed. If we are unable to microchip your pet at this clinic due to stress/temperament/etc, we will help you get set up with an appointment at C-Snip's Community Well Pet Clinic.

This will be clinic 1 of 3 so if you're unable to make this one, we will be holding 2 more in the coming months.

Want to SPONSOR A CHIP? Your donation of $5 covers one pet to be microchipped! You can donate on this post, on our website, Venmo, Cashapp, or PayPal!

*If your pet is not yet spayed or neutered, we will be sending you with information on why & how to get that done.

**These clinics are NOT for breeders or rescues. We reserve the right to turn away or accept any pets.
