1. Does the shelter give vaccinations/microchip animals?

The shelter vaccinates animals upon intake and microchips them before sending them home. We are not able to provide this service to animals that are not in our care.

The best resource for taking care of your pet's medical need is to contact your local veterinarian.

2. According to city ordinance, I must have my pet microchipped. What is a chip and why is it important?

A microchip is a tiny implant that contains your contact information and is placed under the animal’s skin, so please keep this information up to date. This is one of the best ways to be reunited with your lost pet, as collars with tags can sometimes be lost while the animal is running loose.

A veterinarian or shelter can scan for the chip.

3. I recently moved to Springdale. How do I register my pet’s microchip with the city?

Springdale Animal Services will register your animal in our database to help reunite you with your pet as soon as possible should they become lost. A shelter staff member will scan your pet for their chip number and record your contact information in our system.

You can also register your pet over the phone if you have their chip number readily available. Shelter contact information is 479-750-8166.
