DocuPet's National Pet Registry and Animal Shelter Network

In a significant stride towards enhancing pet safety and reunification, DocuPet, a leader in pet licensing in North America, has introduced the National Pet Registry and National Animal Shelter Network. This initiative aims to transform how lost pets are identified and reunited with their owners across the continent.

A New Era for Pet Data

The establishment of the National Pet Registry marks the first consolidated platform in the United States and Canada where pet data is efficiently managed. Partnering with over 300 communities and 80 animal welfare organizations, DocuPet has amalgamated previously fragmented information scattered across more than 7,000 databases. This secure system combines pet licensing, microchip identifiers, contact details, and vet records into a single, searchable database.

Quote from Grant Goodwin:
"Every year, millions of pets go missing, and too many never make it home because of no tag identification, outdated contact information, or jurisdictional boundaries," explains Grant Goodwin, CEO of DocuPet. "The National Pet Registry and National Animal Shelter Network empower shelters, communities, and pet owners to collaborate more effectively during these crucial moments."

Rapid Growth and User-Friendly Features

Currently, the platform is experiencing remarkable growth, with over 8,000 pets registered daily, making it the fastest-growing pet database in North America. Each registered pet enjoys a free, innovative HomeSafe® tag, which connects pet owners to their pets' detailed profiles online. The user-friendly portal allows pet owners to manage essential records, including vaccination statuses and veterinary contacts.

The HomeSafe® service, an integral part of the registry, operates around the clock, featuring dedicated lost pet reporting functionalities. This service not only partners with Petco Love Lost but also integrates with the National Animal Shelter Network to provide seamless lost and found pet alerts.

Enhancing Shelter Efficiency

As the largest coalition of connected shelters in North America, the National Animal Shelter Network enhances pet recovery rates and minimizes unnecessary shelter intakes. The registry's search capability enables shelters to access pet profiles instantly by various methods, including tag ID, microchip numbers, or even by physical characteristics when other identifiers are unavailable.

Shelters can also submit Found Pet Reports, triggering automated notifications to pet owners. This cooperative effort across different jurisdictions boosts the chances of swift reunions between pets and their families.

Quote from Jackie Rose:
Jackie Rose, Chief Strategy Officer at DocuPet, states, "By linking shelters through this network and ensuring every pet is registered, we reduce the time associated with reunifications, tackle shelter overcrowding, and foster community-based reunion efforts."

A Pioneering Approach to Pet Welfare

The combination of the National Pet Registry and the National Animal Shelter Network signifies a monumental step toward modernizing pet identification processes, enhancing data sharing, and improving pet reunification standards nationwide.

DocuPet seeks to set a new national benchmark in pet safety and recovery, providing vital resources to both pet owners and shelters. This innovative initiative is a testament to how technology can facilitate animal welfare and community connection.
