A microchip is a tiny computer chip, about the size of a grain of rice, that is implanted painlessly beneath your pet's skin between the shoulder blades. It has a unique number used to identify animals when scanned by a shelter or vet. The number is used to find the owner's contact information in a  registry.

Does my pet need a microchip if it already has an ID tag?

Lost pets often lose their ID tag and can only be identified by their microchip.

How much does it cost?

Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center will microchip your pet at the low cost of $15.00 per animal. There is no additional fee to register the microchip in the Found Animals Registry. No appointment needed.

Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center strongly recommends that pet owners consider microchipping their pets.

If an animal is caught by our staff in the field and has identification, every attempt will be made to return it home, providing there is an owner present to receive it or it can be put securely in the back yard. If not, the animal will go to the Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center and every attempt will be made to contact the owner.

Stray animals without identification that are turned in to the Grand Prairie Animal Services Adoption Center are held for a minimum of 72 hours (not including days the shelter is not open, such as Sundays, Mondays, and holidays).

If they are not claimed after 72 hours, the animals become the property of the City of Grand Prairie and if suitable, are placed up for adoption.

Have you found a stray cat? Follow the steps below and learn what to do next.

1. If the cat was not found in Grand Prairie, contact your city's shelter or rescue groups for assistance.
2. If the cat is injured or sick, call 972-237-8668 for intake. Depending on its condition, the cat may be ineligible for TNR and subject to adoption, transfer, or humane euthanasia.
3. If the cat is healthy and is ear-notched, this indicates a fixed, rabies-vaccinated Community Cat.
4. If the cat is healthy and is not ear-notched, call 972-237-8668 for spay/neuter services. If you would like to pick up the cat after surgery for TNR release, be sure to request TNR services specifically. If not, the cat will be assessed for TNR; if it is ineligible for TNR, it will be assessed for adoption, transfer, or humane euthanasia.
