Appointments for a low-cost microchip clinic for McHenry County pets are being scheduled now.  This drive-thru event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the McHenry County Animal Control and Adoption Center, 100 N. Virginia Street in Crystal Lake. Interested pet owners should call (815) 459-6222 to schedule their pet’s appointment.

The cost of a microchip is $10 per pet. Senior citizens will receive a discounted fee of $5 per pet. In honor of Veteran’s Day, there is no fee for the pets of McHenry County veterans.
