A drive to get more Hamilton dogs registered and microchipped is being run in March by Hamilton City Council.
Hamilton dog owners can register and microchip their dog for $35 during four dates in March, saving $80. This only applies to dogs who have not been registered before.
On each Thursday in March, a different community centre will host a mobile registration and microchipping service.
The mobile service will run from 12.30pm to 3pm at Melville Community Centre (March 1), Western Community Centre (March 8), Pukete Neighbourhood House (15 March) and Fairfield Community hall (March 22).
Council's animal education and control manager Susan Stanford says the programme is about making it easy for dog owners.
