YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Humane Society of Yuma is offering free microchips for pets until July 3.

Pet microchips are small, rice-sized devices that are implanted under the skin of a pet. They contain a unique identification number that can be read by a special scanner.

When a lost pet is found, a veterinarian, animal control, or an animal shelter can scan the pet for a microchip, and the identification number can then be used to contact the pet's owner.

This can greatly increase the chances of a lost pet being returned to its rightful owner and decrease the number of animals entering the shelter.
