Eastham Dog Owners' Assoc. donates microchip detection reader to Eastham PD

Association works with police to get lost pets home quickly and safely

With the coordination of the Eastham Dog Owners’ Association (EDOA) Lost Dog Committee and the American Kennel Club, a microchip detection reader was recently donated to the Eastham Police Department. The microchip ID reader will enable the Animal Control Officer to identify micro-chipped dogs and cats that are found and will expedite their return to the rightful owner.

This is part of EDOA’s continuing mission of working with the town to enhance the lives of our canine and feline citizens, visitors and the humans who are owned by them.

EDOA is working on a number of strategies to form a lost dog network on the Lower Cape. If you would like to know how you can help please email info@easthamdog.org or learn more at their website www.easthamdog.org.

A lost dog is never lucky, but should they get lost in Eastham it should be comforting for the owner to know that with the assistance and compassion of the EDOA search parties and the professionalism and tools of the Eastham Police, they have one lucky dog.
