“I hope my experience will encourage pet sitters to microchip their dogs and cats and never give up hope if a four-legged friend is lost or stolen! If the microchipping law had been in place in 2018, I could have had my daughter Sheba back in weeks rather than years It wasn’t until September 2021 that Texas officially passed a bill requiring animal shelters and rescuers to scan an animal in their care for a microchip.”
