Found a lost pet and want to check for a microchip? Animal Care Services (ACS) and the San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) have partnered to provide free, self-service microchip scanning stations at 11 fire stations throughout the community. Each scanning site includes easy-to-follow instructions, and the outdoor stations are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Residents who have safely contained a found pet can use a scanner to check the animal for a microchip. If a chip is detected, follow the instructions provided at the station to look up the microchip number and begin the process of contacting the pet's family.
To help ensure the safety of the animal, visitors, and fire personnel, please follow these guidelines when bringing an animal to a scanning station:
You may also get your pet scanned at the ACS Main Campus.
