Reuniting Pets with Their People: New Microchip Scanning Stations in Lafayette Parish

What’s New

Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center (LASCC), in partnership with Friends of the Lafayette Animal Shelter (FLASh), has launched free 24/7 microchip scanning stations to help lost pets find their way home faster—and keep them out of shelters.

Each station includes easy-to-follow instructions for scanning a pet’s microchip. These self-service stations are open 24/7, offering an after-hours option when vet clinics are closed. That means you can help a pet get home—day or night.

Why Microchipping Matters

In 2024, LASCC took in nearly 4,000 stray animals. Only 228 were reclaimed by owners. That number can—and should—be higher.

• Permanent – Unlike tags or collars, they can’t fall off
• Reliable – Provide direct access to an owner’s contact info
• Effective – One of the best tools for reuniting lost pets with their families
