The Erie Animal Network has released Erie\u2019s first ever Public Pet Microchip Scanner Station. This station allows the public to possibly reunite lost pets with their owners 24 hours a day seven days a week.<\/p>\n

Since 2011 the Erie Animal Network has been utilizing social media and the Found Pet Alert Program to reunite pets. With this new system the public can be even more involved in the reuniting of furry friends and their families.<\/p>\n

The new scanner is free for public use and is equipped with clear instructions on how to use the system. Individuals who find lost pets are able to visit the scanner and immediately check if the animal has a registered microchip.<\/p>\n

With this new system in place pet owners are encouraged to have their pets microchipped at a vet office, keep the information updated, and to continue to follow updates on the Erie Animal Network Facebook page here<\/a> for any lost pets.<\/p>\n
