THERE is a free dog micro chipping event in Royston this month, organised by Barnsley Council and the Dogs Trust.
The free event is being held in the pavilion at Royston park, Midland Road, between 11am and 3pm on July 29, and will provide owners with a permanent method of identifying their dog.
It will become compulsory in 2016 to have your dog microchipped.
For more information about the event contact Barnsley Council's dog warden on 773743.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
