North East Regional Recreation Center is one of five locations in Baltimore County that has a 24/7 Pet Scanner available for use by the public.

These scan stations allow finders to scan lost or stray pets for a microchip, follow the instructions on the corresponding website accessed by QR code and reunite lost pets often without bringing them into the shelter. Residents can also use the site to ensure their pet is microchipped, learn their pet’s microchip number and find out how to register their microchip.

1. Press the red button to power the scanner on.
2. Still pressing the red button continuously, hold the scanner with the red “scanning” sensor pointed down toward the pet and begin slowly scanning the animals back, starting at the neck working your way all the way down to the pet’s tail, in an S-shaped pattern. Learn more about the scanning process and pattern. (PDF)
   1. If no chip is found—Follow the same S shape along both sides of the animal’s body.
   2. If a chip is found—The scanner will beep and display the chip number on the screen. Write down the chip number exactly as displayed

The scanner is located on the No Parking Sign pole across from the main entrance to the facility.
