Pet microchip scanning stations available across Berkeley County

Berkeley County has installed pet microchip scanning stations around the county to identify lost pets and help reunite them with their owners. The self-service station has a universal scanner to allow anyone to quickly scan a found pet for a microchip.

In April, a microchip station was installed at the Daniel Island Library. (Read the story.) 

The new stations are available at the following locations:

Cane Bay Library – 1655 Cane Bay Boulevard, Ste. A, Summerville
Hanahan Library – 1216 Old Murray Court, Hanahan
Moncks Corner Library – 1003 Highway 52, Moncks Corner
Sangaree Library – 595 Sangaree Parkway, Summerville
St. Stephen Fire Department – 124 Hood Street, St. Stephen
Additional stations will be installed in the coming weeks.

Berkeley County encourages anyone who finds a lost animal to take it to the nearest pet microchip station. Immediately upon scanning, contact Charleston Animal Society Berkeley Campus at 843-719-5050.

Total cost of the initiative is approximately $15,000. Funding stems from County Councilwoman Amy Stern’s allotted Accommodations Fee discretionary funds for District 5.

“These scanners are imperative to both public safety and animal welfare across Berkeley County. Council and I strongly believe it will make a profound impact by helping to ease overcrowding at Charleston Animal Society Berkeley Campus and improving our communities,” said Councilwoman Amy Stern (District 5) in a statement.
