ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – It’s getting a little easier to find your lost dog or cat. Through a new program called Project Reunite, the city now has microchip scanners at 22 AFR stations, seven APD substations, and five local businesses.
City leaders say if more places have scanners, an owner can be notified more quickly if their pet is found and a trip to the shelter may be spared. “We love having them at the shelter and we absolutely do care for them, but the best place for them to be is home and this is a great way to make that happen,” says Carolyn Ortega, director for the City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department.
Lost pets can still be taken to animal welfare’s three shelters to have their chips checked. The scanner locations are listed below:
