Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Friends of San Francisco Animal Care and Control <HelpAnimals Thu, 10 May 2007 20:57:35 -0700 The last microchipping clinic of 2007 at San Francisco Animal Care and Control (ACC) will be on Sunday, June 10, 1 to 4 p.m. The clinic after that will not occur until the second Sunday of February 2008. Sponsored by the nonprofit Friends of San Francisco Animal Care and Control (FSFACC), the service is FREE to San Francisco residents and a nominal $15 per dog or cat for nonresidents. In all cases donations are welcome for the service. NO APPOINTMENT OR PAPERWORK IS NECESSARY. Dogs of San Francisco residents must be licensed, and for those who aren't, licenses will be available at the same time if the owner has proof of their dog's up-to-date rabies vaccination. All dogs must be on leash and under close control by their handlers, and each cat must be in his or her own carrier. Free microchipping, which can run up to $80 at some veterinary hospitals, is quite a bargain. Animal caretakers are given a pre-addressed envelope and form to register the microchip nationally for only $6.25. Even that service normally runs $17.50 when not done at an animal shelter. For more information on microchipping in San Francisco go to FSFACC.org, click on " About ACC " and then on " What Is Microchipping?. " Or call FSFACC at (415) 822-5566. While FSFACC volunteers run the microchipping clinics, ACC staff sells dog licenses and offers dogs, cats and small animals for adoption. ACC offers numerous other crucial services to the public every day of the year (except national holidays), 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (7 p.m. on Wednesdays). Go to sfgov.org/acc.
