 Microchip Your Pets For Free

at the Evergreen State Fair!

Snohomish County cats and dogs are welcome to bring their owners down for free microchipping on Sunday, June 10 at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe.

This event is sponsored by the Snohomish County Animal Advisory Board and the County Auditor's Licensing and Animal Services Division with the goals of promoting responsible ownership, while reducing shelter costs with the ability to return stray pets directly to their owners.  It will be held June 10th in the Pygmy Goat Barn - Building 608, from 10am -12pm.

The program is funded by the Snohomish County Animal Benefit Bequest Fund, established to benefit animals in Snohomish County with monies gathered from gifts and bequests made by individuals, organizations and businesses.  The free microchipping is limited to the first 200 cats and dogs of Snohomish County residents.
