CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) A microchip will help animals an their owners. The Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals donated a HomeAgain microchip scanner to the Valley City Police Department and the Barnes County Sheriff’s Department.  This will assist the two agencies when called on animals that are found to see if the animal has been microchipped, hopefully reuniting them with their owners quickly.

The HomeAgain program is available through the Valley City Veterinary Hospital and is provided by the Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals.  HomeAgain microchips are small, about the size of a grain of rice, and contain a number that can be linked to the HomeAgain database.  Many animals including all animals adopted out though SVFA, are microchipped.  Microchipping has been proven to reunite animals who wander or lost with their owners.
