New Microchip Scanners in Walton County!

We’re excited to announce that six microchip scanning locations are now available throughout Walton County, with the first station ready outside of the Walton County Shelter. These easy-access stations are ready to help you reunite lost pets with their families.

If you find a dog, (yes, even cats)and it's after hours, just visit one of the locations below to scan for a microchip. Step-by-step instructions are posted to guide you through the process—if a chip is found, you’ll know exactly what to do. If no chip is found, you can call 850-892-8682 to have an ACO pick up during business hours.

Our goal remains the same: Reunite pets quickly and compassionately with their owners. Your small action could mean the world to a worried family.

📍Scanner Locations:
✔️ Walton County Animal Shelter
✔️ Woodlawn Fire Department
✔️ Freeport Fire Department
✔️ South Walton Sub Station
✔️ Mossy Head Sub Station
✔️ Paxton Fire Department

Thank you for helping us build a community where lost pets find their way back home. Let’s keep those tails wagging! Always use caution when dealing with a strange animal. Remember they may be scared.

Good reminder to stay on top of your pups heartworm treatments.

How do dogs get heartworms⁉️

They are caused by a mosquito picking up microscopic Heartworm larvae (Microfilariae) from the blood of an infected animal. Inside the mosquito, the larvae matures in 10-14 days. When that infected mosquito bites another animal, the larvae enters the bloodstream.

It takes about 6 months for the larvae to travel through the bloodstream, eventually reaching the heart where they mature into foot long adult worms. 😦

In short terms, pet's get heart worms through the bite of an infected mosquito.
