Washoe County’s Regional Animal Services will offer a free microchipping clinic at the Summit Mall during the inaugural Sheriff’s Office K9 Run on Sept. 28.

The clinic will open at 8am and free microchipping will be available throughout the event.

Pet owners are asked to bring dogs properly leashed and cats in appropriate carriers.

The special clinic is made possible thanks to support from Maddie’s Fund and is part of a year-long campaign by Regional Animal Services to provide free microchips for all Washoe County pets.

The Sheriff’s K9 Run features a 5K, 10K and a Kids 1 Mile Fun Run. This fundraising event is open to all levels of fitness and all ages. Proceeds will go toward equipment and training needed to support the mission of the Washoe County Sheriff’s K9 Unit.
