​Join us April 27, 2019 at the DuPage Human Race

Help us raise funds to microchip 500 animals in DuPage County 
Be a Life Saver. Microchip Your Pet. 
Every animal deserves a home and if ever lost, can be found. 
It's not scary for your pet to get microchipped. Watch our video and learn more.

Join us and become a Life-Saver. With owner-relinquished pets representing more than 56% of DuPage County Animal Service’s (DCAS) annual animal intake, it’s clear that pet retention is as large an issue in and around DuPage County as animal over population. For this reason, in 2019, DCAS is focusing efforts on ways to prevent pet relinquishment and increase pet reunification rates. One such life-saving initiative they include as part of managed care is microchipping and microchip registration for all animals. ​

That’s why DuPage Animal Friends (DAF) is joining forces with DCAS to support the community with a goal to microchip 500 animals in DuPage County.

• On April 27, our team is participating in the DuPage Human Race fundraising toward this goal. We would welcome you! Run or walk. It’s fun. Bring family and friends.
• Or donate. $20.00 can microchip and register one animal.
• Or sponsor one animal. A $100 donation can cover a health check, vaccinations, microchipping & registration, and spay/neuter procedures if needed.

DuPage County Animal Services (DCAS) is all about doing everything possible to give adoptable animals a second chance at life. DuPage Animal Friends, an all-volunteer 501(c)3 charitable organization, is committed to helping provide the lifesaving supplies, medical care, and program funding that fall beyond the scope of Animal Services' limited operating budget. Your contribution to DuPage Animal Friends goes straight to work helping thousands of homeless pets every year that enter DCAS needing care and shelter.
