microchip clinics

Four times a year, FLEAS partners with the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) and the Little Elm Animal Shelter to provide free microchips to pets in our community. A microchip is a tiny investment in lifelong safety — a permanent form of identification that can’t fall off, fade, or be removed.

MICROCHIP CLINICS

Four times a year, FLEAS partners with the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP) and the Little Elm Animal Shelter to provide free microchips to pets in our community. A microchip is a tiny investment in lifelong safety — a permanent form of identification that can’t fall off, fade, or be removed.


📊Our Impact

Thanks to community support, we’ve been able to expand this program each year. Each microchip represents a future reunion, a family kept whole, and one less pet entering the shelter system.

Here’s a look at how many pets received free microchips through FLEAS‑sponsored clinics:

💡Why Microchipping Matters

  • Permanent ID: Unlike collars or tags, a microchip stays with your pet for life.
  • Higher Return‑to‑Owner Rates: Shelters and vet offices can quickly scan a chip and contact you.
  • Fast & Easy: Implanting a microchip takes just seconds and feels like a routine vaccine.
  • Peace of Mind: If the unexpected happens — storms, escapes, emergencies — your pet has a way home.


📅 How Our Clinics Work

  • Offered during TCAP vaccine clinics at the Little Elm Animal Shelter
  • Free for all community pets, thanks to donor support
  • No appointment needed — first come, first served
  • Quick, simple process handled by trained veterinary staff

Upcoming clinic dates are posted on our Events page and social media channels.


🫶 Made Possible by Our Community

Our Microchip Clinics are funded entirely by donations and powered by volunteers who believe every pet deserves safety and a chance to get home. Whether you attend a clinic, share our posts, or support the program financially, you’re helping protect pets across the Little Elm area.
