Group encourages microchipping pets on National Lost Dog Day
PHOENIX -- A Valley group encouraged owners Thursday to get their canines microchipped in honor of National Lost Dog Day.
"According to national statistics, one-in-three pets will be lost each year," Judith Garner with the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA said.
An estimated 90 percent of pets that go missing do not return home. Microchips can help get pets back to their owners.
