'A ticket home': New Austin city law will require pets to be microchipped - Austin Monitor
Briefly

"We know that a majority of the animals coming in here don't have microchips. A lot of these animals you can tell are owned animals. They are well groomed, well cared for and well fed. Having that ability to know who that (pet) belongs to and get them back home is something that is going to be huge."
"The success that we have seen is that if an owned pet does come into Animal Care Services, their stay with us is that much shorter, because we know who they belong to and we can get them home."
