Microchips are implanted just under the skin, usually right between the shoulder blades. This is done with a large-bore needle and doesn’t require anesthesia.
Each microchip contains a registration number and the phone number of the registry for the particular brand of chip. A handheld scanner reads the radio frequency of the chip and displays this information. An animal shelter or vet clinic that finds your pet can contact the registry to get your name and phone number. Please call the Lycoming County SPCA 570-322-4646 for more information.

Cremation & Burial Services are offered at our facility with burial plots available on location. For pricing and availability, please call Lycoming County SPCA at 570-322-4646 for information.
Euthanasia is always a difficult decision. We have technicians certified by the American Humane Association to help your pet. Because this process is also emotionally complex for our technicians, we cannot help your pet and you during the euthanasia process. Therefore, you will not be able to be with your pet while they are euthanized. If this is important to you, please call your veterinarian. After euthanasia, we can return your pet to you for burial, cremate the remains, return the ashes to you, or provide burial services in our cemetery. Prices vary by the weight of the animal. Please call the Lycoming County SPCA at 570-322-4646 to set up an appointment for euthanasia.
