Effective May 13, 2010, in accordance with the recently passed animal ordinances, it is a requirement for all dogs and cats, 6 months or older, who reside in the city limits of Springdale to be microchipped and registered with Springdale Animal Services.  Annual licensing of pets has been discontinued and replaced with one time microchip registration.

You may obtain microchipping from any source you choose.  We will offer periodic low-cost microchipping clinics for dogs and cats 6 weeks or older, with clinic dates posted on the City homepage.  The one time $20 fee includes lifetime registration at the shelter and the first year’s registration with the national database.  There are also other low-cost, and periodic FREE microchipping clinics hosted in our region throughout the year.  If pet is already microchipped you are only required to provide proof of verifiable microchip registration with current contact information, at no charge.  

Is your pet already microchipped?  If so, click on the attached registration form (pets already microchipped only).  Please print the form, complete, and return to Springdale Animal Services.  Please complete one form for each animal.  Please make sure your emergency contact number is a person we can contact if something happens to you.  This allows us to return your animal to your contact should it be impounded and you cannot be located.  Thank you.
