July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, and the Humane Society of Broward County will be offering 500 FREE microchips for pet owners. The chips are available in the shelter’s vaccine clinic at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale. The clinic is open Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. no appointment necessary (it is closed daily from 11:40 – 1:00 p.m.) Thanks to technology, a microchip is the size of a grain of rice and administered under the skin between a pet’s shoulder blades. When a chip is properly registered it contains the owner’s contact information. Should your pet become lost and taken to a vet’s office or shelter, a scanner is used to see if the animal has a chip and then the owner can be contacted. It is important to understand that a microchip is not a tracking device.

Hollywood resident Marquita Rusley is among the first Peace Corps volunteers to return to overseas service since the agency’s unprecedented global evacuation in March 2020. The Peace Corps suspended global operations and evacuated nearly 7,000 volunteers from more than 60 countries at the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic. “I want to build relationships with people in my overseas community by experiencing their customs and daily routines. Through my Peace Corps service, I hope to gain transferable skills that will help me become a teacher after I complete service,” said Rusley. Rusley is a graduate of Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in environment and society. She will serve as a volunteer in Togo in the education sector. “The world is at a critical juncture. The largest global vaccination effort in history is underway while other widespread health, social, political, and environmental issues continue to erode the foundation of our global society.
