907chip

I created 907Chip in 2026. It’s grown to nine free 24/7 dog and cat microchip scanning stations statewide. All thanks to donations, volunteers and hosting businesses from Anchorage to Fairbanks.

Each station costs between $400-$650 depending upon whether it is a stand-alone or wall-attached version. I purchase all of the supplies and build each station at my photography studio. Then, they’re installed at easily accessible locations for samaritans who have found a lost dog or cat.

The stations are also handy for pet owners who would like to scan their own dogs or cats to make sure their microchips are properly updated with address and other contact information.

How the Anchorage project got started:

Modeled after a program in North Carolina (Paws4Purpose) 907chip is designed to help bring lost and found dogs and cats home to their families more efficiently.

Stations are installed in Anchorage, Palmer, Girdwood, Eagle Rive and Fairbanks. They’re accessible 24/7. When a samaritan finds a stray dog or cat, you can always visit your veterinarian, Pet Emergency or Midnight Sun Animal Hospital (both are in Anchorage) for a scan. My hope is that, by adding hands-on stations, it will be helpful to have more resources. The stand-alone model is shown below with dogs Iris and Maggie.
