Councilor Corran Hosts Free Dog Microchipping Event

The City of Las Cruces, District 5 Councilor Becky Corran, and the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley invite residents to have their dogs microchipped before the Fourth of July holiday.

To help reunite lost pets with their families, the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley will provide free microchipping for the first 100 dogs during this event.

The free microchipping event with be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the first-floor lobby of Las Cruces City Hall, 700 North Main St.

The Fourth of July holiday is one of the busiest times of the year for lost pets due to fireworks and increased activity. Microchipping provides a permanent form of identification that can help shelters quickly locate pet owners.

Pet owners are encouraged to arrive early, as free microchipping services will be available on a first come first served basis for the first 100 dogs.

Even the calmest pets can become anxious in unfamiliar environments. For the safety and the safety of others, please keep dogs on a leash or secure carrier throughout the event.
