Free Pet Microchipping Available through Home for the Holidays Promotion

Will County Animal Protection Services (APS) is hosting their “Home for the Holidays” promotion to provide free microchips to pets belonging to Will County residents and waiving reclaim fees for those reclaiming their lost pet from the shelter. The promotion will run from November 17th-December 31st.

The goal is to ensure that families can reunite with their lost pets quickly and safety. Families will be able to pick up lost pets from APS without a fee and set an appointment for a free microchip appointment.

Free microchipping appointments are available for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. Appointments are required and are available at Will County APS, Joliet Junior College (JJC), and Wilco Area Career Center (Wilco). Requirements for microchipping include making an appointment, being a Will County resident (ID required), dogs remaining leashed, cats remaining in carriers, and proof of a current rabies vaccination for dogs, cats, and ferrets (must be current by the time of appointment).

Residents can book an appointment at Will County APS online, in-person, or over the phone (815-462-5633). They can also book an appointment with Wilco by visiting their website.
