Appreciative pet owners from around District One in Osceola County came together on Saturday for a Free Pet Microchip Event, hosted by District 1 Osceola County Commissioner Peggy Choudhry in collaboration with Osceola County Animal Services. Held at 2925 International Drive (former Publix), the drive-up event aimed to enhance pet safety and help ensure lost animals have a better chance of being returned to their families.
The event, which took place from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, was open exclusively to Osceola County residents, with free microchipping provided while supplies lasted.
Commissioner Choudhry, who personally welcomed and assisted attendees, expressed her gratitude for the community’s participation:
“It was heartwarming to see so many residents come out today. Events like these show the strength of our community’s love for their pets,” said Commissioner Peggy Choudhry. “Microchipping is a simple but powerful way to make sure lost pets make it back home safely.”
Osceola County Animal Services staff administered the microchipping throughout the event, ensuring it was a safe and simple procedure for the animals, and providing guidance to pet owners on registering and maintaining their microchip information.
This successful initiative is part of an ongoing effort to promote responsible pet ownership, support public safety, and reduce the number of unclaimed animals in local shelters.
