In addition, any dogs adopted this month will have a free lifetime microchip, which contains a identification number unique to that animal linked to the owner’s registered contact information. In the event the animal gets lost, veterinarians, animal shelters, or humane societies can scan the chip and help reunite the pet with its owner.

“Whether you’re ready to adopt or simply want to help us stock the shelves, there’s a way for everyone to show our shelter animals a little extra love this October,” the social media announcement said.
