Check The Chip Day!

Join the Independence Public Library on August 15th to celebrate Check The Chip Day with a fundraiser for the Buchanan County Animal Shelter. We'll Make Pet Toys, and check your pets for up to date microchip information. Free-will donations will be accepted.

From 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM you can join us in the community room to make pet toys out of everyday household items. You can make them for your pet at home or donate them to the Buchanan County Animal Shelter for pets waiting for their own home. There is no need to register, and all the supplies will be provided.

From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM Dr. Reid, from the Jesup Veterinary Clinic and the Buchanan County Animal Shelter, and Dr. Eike from Pipestone Veterinarian Services will be here to check for up to date chip information on your pet, and can provide general health and chip information if your pet does not yet have a microchip. There is no cost to check and update chip information, but all animals should be current on shots and on a leash or in a carrier.
