Find a pet who\u2019s lost its way home?<\/p>\n
North Fort Myers residents can bring stray animals to North Fort Myers Fire Control District stations to be scanned for a microchip to help reunite pets with their owners.<\/p>\n
The stations that are equipped to scan for a microchip include Station 1 \u2013 2900 Trail Dairy Circle, Station 2 \u2013 1280 Barrett Rd., and Station 3 \u2013 1629 Slater Road.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you locate a pet near one of these areas, you can bring them to the corresponding station between\u00a07 a.m. and 7 p.m.\u00a0to be scanned. Having scanning stations in the northern part of Lee County allows us to better serve our North Fort Myers residents by helping reunite animals with their owners more quickly and efficiently,\u201d North Fort Myers Fire Control District Public Education Officer Christi Fulton said.<\/p>\n
The North Fort Myers Fire Control District officially became a microchip scanning station in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll three of our shifts completed training on microchip scanning, and we\u2019re proud to share that all three of our stations now serve as designated scanning locations for the community,\u201d Fulton said.<\/p>\n
The partnership with Lee County Domestic Animal Services began several years ago, which originally sparked during a CERT team event where the district invited their mobile unit to participate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile they were attending, we had meaningful conversations about the needs of our community and how our organizations could work together to better support the residents and pets of North Fort Myers. Since then, we\u2019ve continued to collaborate closely. Over the years, their team has assisted us with reuniting lost pets with their owners and responding to calls where animal services needed to be involved,\u201dFulton said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Find a pet who\u2019s lost its way home?
