When : Always August 26th

National Dog Day has two goals: to honor dogs, and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse. It's an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives.

This day is intended to honor dogs for all that they do for us. In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind. Dogs aid in search and rescue, and they seek out bombs and drugs.

The second goal of National Dog Day is to rescue dogs in need. On occasion, dogs need us to save them from homelessness and abuse. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs a year. Lend a hand to help a dog in need today, or any day.


Origin of National Dog Day:

National Dog Day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation. Their motto is "Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time".

Microchips at CAP

Only $25 the last Sunday of every month

Next ChipDay is May 31st

We always like to see an animal go back home with its' owner, and the MOST EFFECTIVE method we've seen is the microchip. We strongly encourage owners to have their pets microchipped and include a microchip in the adoption fee for every animal adopted from our shelter. There are so many animals in wonderful homes already that need the same protection which is why we are now offering this service to the public!!

CAP offers microchipping to the public 7 days a week for $30!!

A microchip can SAVE the life of your pet. It is your pet's phone call home. The majority of animal shelters, humane societies and veterinarians scan every lost animal that comes to their facility. At CAP, every lost animal who comes to our shelter is scanned, and, if a microchip is found, the owner is contacted immediately.

Microchipping is quick and relatively painless. The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice. It is inserted under the skin, much like a vaccine, at the base of the neck and between the shoulder blades. It is made out of an inert ingredient so it should not affect the animal (talk to your veterinarian about any concerns you may have.) The tissue should begin growing around the chip within 24 hours.  Once inserted, a scanner will identify a code number which is linked to information about the pet's owner. It may take several days to register the microchip and your information with the program, but after that there is nothing else to be done except informing the microchip provider of your new address if you should move. Your pet is identified for the rest of his or her life.

At Citizens for Animal Protection, every adopted cat and dog over 4 months of age is microchipped and registered through Pet Point's 24PetWatch which is a national pet recovery program. The microchip number is registered in Pet Point's 24 Hour Pet-Watch national registry which can be accessed by CAP employees. The microchip can be scanned at any veterinary clinic or animal shelter that has a scanner. If your animal were to get lost, he/she can be reunited with you anywhere throughout the USA.
