City identifies three locations for microchip scanner stations to help reunite lost pets
Summary
Public-safety staff identified three possible microchip scanner locations—Bay's Firearms and Range (500 block of Edgefield Road), a downtown dog-park location, and the Palmetto Parkway Trailhead—to allow citizens and public-safety staff to scan found dogs and identify owners.
Chief Johnson (speaker 9) reported that staff have identified three possible microchip scanner locations intended to help reunite lost pets with owners.
The proposed locations are Bay's Firearms and Range (500 block of Edgefield Road), a station near the downtown dog park for closer access to the central business area, and the Palmetto Parkway Trailhead on Muscogee Lake Road for easy in-and-out access without large crowds. Chief Johnson said the stations would be available for public use to scan found dogs and check ownership information; the service would be free. Staff recommended sending location information to the appropriate committee and committee members for next steps.
What happens next: Staff will provide details to the committee for final selection and implementation.
