Oklahoma City Fire Department introduces a new program to reunite lost pets with owners faster. Two fire stations equipped with microchip scanners can identify and contact pet owners directly, reducing time pets spend away from home and easing shelter burden. If a lost pet is found near participating stations, it can be scanned for a microchip, leading to a swift reunion. This initiative not only helps individual pets but also alleviates pressure on local animal welfare system.
