FORVER HOME MICRO-CHIPS ALL AVAILABLE GREYHOUNDS. We feel it is an important and valuable tool to insure their safety. We will also be offering low cost chipping to all of our clients who currently own Forever Home Greyhounds. The Micro Chipping will be by appointment or at specified adoption events. (call Paula for details) The cost to our current adoptive clients will be a very reasonable $10.00 per Greyhound which is less than 1/2 what your Vet is able to offer it for.
