Minneapolis animal organizations teaming up for free microchip event
MINNEAPOLIS — Three local animal organizations are teaming up to hold a free microchip event on Monday, Sept. 30.
From 5 to 8 p.m., anyone can have their pet microchipped at North Commons Recreation Center located at 1801 N. James Ave. in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Animal Care & Control, Best Friends Animal Society and North Minneapolis Pet Resource Center are partnering in an effort to improve chances of lost pets finding their owner.
According to Best Friends Animal Society, the return rate for lost dogs in the U.S. has fallen 29% since 2019. Organizers say it’s because there’s no way to identify them when they’re brought into a shelter.
Minneapolis Animal Care & Control says 33% of stray dogs they receive make it back home due to lack of notification.
Microchipping is a process where a small microchip, that has a unique ID, is placed under the skin of a pet. That microchip can be scanned at any animal shelter or by any veterinarian.
The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends having microchips scanned at least once a year to make sure it’s still functioning and can be detected.
Last year, Minnetonka police launched a new online dashboard that lists animals reported lost or found to authorities. If a pet is microchipped, the microchip number will show up on the listing.

Highs peak in the lower 80s this afternoon for the southern part of the state with 70s up north.
Monday is expected to be a transition day with a warm and gusty day expected.
Winds will start out of the south and then switch to the northwest later in the day as a cold front passes by.
This front will usher in cooler air for Tuesday. We start off October on a seasonable note, but it will feel much colder as it will be nearly 20 degrees chillier than Monday.

MINNEAPOLIS — Eight people are without a home after a fire tore through a residential building in north Minneapolis early Sunday morning.
The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews responded to reports of a fire in a bedroom of a two-story home on the 3400 block of Fremont Avenue North shortly after 2 a.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a large amount of fire venting from the second-floor windows and laid lines before conducting searches of all floors.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire after extensive overhaul, according to the fire department.
All residents made it out of the home safely and without injuries.
The fire department deemed the home uninhabitable.
The Red Cross will be assisting four adults, four children and a dog who were displaced by the fire.
