The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society is set to bring back its popular drive-thru microchip clinic on May 31, taking place at the Atlas Tube Recreation Centre located at 447 Renaud Line Rd. in Lakeshore, Ontario. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., allowing pet owners to have their pets microchipped for a fee of $40 without the need for appointments. Executive Director Lynnette Bain emphasized the convenience of the drive-thru format, where pet owners can remain in their vehicles while medical staff provide instructions and services. This initiative returns following a brief hiatus, driven by significant community demand. Bain expressed hopes for a turnout of a couple hundred animals, noting past events have seen varying attendance based on weather conditions. The humane society is collaborating with local veterinary professionals and the Municipality of Lakeshore to facilitate the event. Microchipping is a crucial service, providing pets with permanent identification that significantly increases the likelihood of being reunited with their families if lost. The humane society plans to assess the event's success for potential future clinics across Windsor and Essex County.
