🐾 Nearly 50 pets are now a little safer thanks to the families who joined us for Saturday's Community Pet Microchip Event!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Saturday's Community Pet Microchip Event!

It was wonderful to see so many families and pet owners come together to take an important step toward keeping their beloved pets safe. Thanks to your participation, nearly 40 pets now have an added layer of protection that can help reunite them with their families if they ever become lost.

A special thank you to our partners at Kane County Animal Control and all those who helped make this event possible. Community partnerships like these help create a safer, more connected Carpentersville for both residents and their four-legged family members.

To everyone who attended—thank you for being responsible pet owners and for helping make our community a little safer, one pet at a time. ❤️
