For the classroom
The Humane Society of Greater Dayton held a free drive-through clinic and put microchips in 73 pets. A microchip is a tiny ID that a scanner can read if a lost pet is found, so the owner can be called. The clinic happened during Animal Shelter Appreciation Week. The shelter also talked about ways to help besides adopting, including volunteering and shopping at its boutique. Seventy-three is the number of animals tagged at this event, not every pet in Dayton.
