Come Visit Us at Dog Fest 2011

Mark your calendars! Angel’s Wish is proud to be apart the annual Mounds Dog Fest on June 12, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year’s event will take place at Angell Park in Sun Prairie, Wis. and admission is FREE. For the last couple of years, Angel’s Wish has hosted a pet microchipping clinic and will be available again at Dog Fest 2011! You can have your pet microchipped for a small cost of $20 with registration. If your pet is ever lost, microchipping substantially increases the likelihood of your pet returning home by offering permanent identification. Below are some statistics of return rates of pets with microchips:

• Only about 22 percent of lost dogs that entered the animal shelters were reunited with their families. However, the return-to-owner rate for microchipped dogs was over 52 percent (a 238 percent increase).



• Less than 2 percent of lost cats that entered the animal shelters were reunited with their families. The return-to-owner rate for microchipped cats was dramatically higher at over 38 percent (more than 2000 percent better).
  

Stop by this years Dog Fest and visit the Angel’s Wish booth for more information about our organization and to have your pet microchipped!

Note: Angel’s Wish offers $20 microchipping at the center in Verona every third Sunday of every month. No appointment is necessary! Visit the Angel’s Wish website for more information.
