Our shelter will be holding our first microchip clinic of the year on Saturday, May 4th, from 11am-2pm at our facility.  Cost is $30 per pet and includes the cost of the microchip (AVID brand) and registration.  No appointment is necessary–first come, first serve basis.  

Microchips are the only permanent form of identification available for pets.  A microchip is a tiny computer chip that is about the size of a grain of wild rice, and contains a unique code of letters/numbers that are registered to an owner in a nationwide database.  The microchip is inserted under the skin, between the shoulder blades, of an animal with a hypodermic needle.  Once inserted, the animal can be permanently identified for the rest of it’s life, with the use of a scanner that can read the chip.  In the FM area, all vet clinics, pounds and shelters, including ours, have scanners that can read the chips.  This means if your pet is lost, there is a much higher chance of being reunited with them than with just a collar and tags alone.

If you have questions in regards to microchipping or our microchip clinics, please contact us at info@humanesocietyfargomoorhead.org.

Esperanza came to us in November as an owner surrender because her owner was unable to provide for her special needs.  Esperanza has been paralyzed since birth due to a spinal cord injury.  But this sweet dog is not one to lie down and give up!  Instead, she is proving that with a little determination, anything is possible.  Watch her video and check back for updates as Esperanza learns to use her legs again!

Two sweet, loving cats have waited more than 8 months now for loving homes.  Tori came to us in April of 2012 and Aruba in May of 2012, and sadly, both are still waiting for their forever homes.  Luckily, both are in the loving care of foster homes, so they have not been sitting in kennels during this entire time, but a foster home is still not a permanent home.   

These girls deserve nothing more than homes to call their own! In an effort to bring more attention to these two, generous donors have made donations towards their adoption fees.  Tori’s adoption fee has been reduced by $70 and Aruba’s by $20.

To meet either of these girls, please contact the shelter at 701-239-0077 or email us at info@humanesocietyfargomoorhead.org to get their foster homes’ contact information.

Hi there! My name is Maggie Mae and I’ve been at the shelter for over 4 months now.  It gets a bit lonely here at times, and although I get the opportunity to both play and snuggle with a human for at least a few minutes a day, it’s hard not to want more time to do those things.  You see, I would love to be the center of someone’s world, to be their one and only “fur” child.  In return for taking me into your home, I will bring you laughter with my silly antics and I will cuddle with you when you need it.  I’m the best of both worlds, both a clown and a best friend, and I’m just waiting for you to come rescue me! Please stop by the shelter and ask to meet me, Miss Maggie Mae…I’ll be waiting for you!
