The Future of Pet Registration and Reunification is Here
DocuPet is the first nationwide network that empowers pet owners, shelters, and communities with registration and reunification tools that get lost pets home—fast.
DocuPet is the National Pet Registry, trusted by hundreds of agencies and 4M+ pet owners. Discover why we’re doubling annually and how to bring our solution to your community.
We're on a mission.
Our collective goal is to see every dog and cat in North America registered, tagged, and protected.
Lost Pets.
Overcrowded Shelters.
18-20% of lost dogs in shelters are reunited with their families
<3% of lost cats in shelters make it back home
Each year in North America, millions of dogs and cats slip out of backyards, dash through open doors, or bolt during storms. For owners, the panic is instant. For shelters, it’s often another untagged, unidentified pet added to already overcrowded kennels.
This Solution is Here.
Pet Registration and Reunification Infrastructure for Everyone
Connected & Streamlined Pet Registration
DocuPet is the first nationwide pet registration network. We provide a customizable, robust, and user-friendly registration platform with pet profiles that are available to those who need them. Pet owners can manage information, add photos, update medical details and care instructions, select pet tags, and make license payments. Administrator partners can add and manage records too with a suite of tools designed just for them.
A Comprehensive Lost Pet Reunification Solution
HomeSafe® includes free tags with unique ID codes connected to digital pet profiles and 24/7 lost pet service. With Lost Pet Alerts, integration with Petco Love Lost, and powerful search tools, stray pets get home faster, typically without entering a shelter. And just wait until you learn what we’re launching next!
Powerful Tools for Community Agencies
DocuPet provides turnkey pet licensing solutions, customized communications, robust reporting, payment management, marketing support and so much more for our government and agency partners. Our National Animal Shelter Network partners also enjoy a cross-jurisdictional pet profile database, enabling instant owner identification, decreasing shelter stays, and increasing successful reunifications.
Since 2014, DocuPet has been providing comprehensive pet licensing services for municipalities across North America.
Working closely with a growing roster of partners, we built our platform so that it would be customizable to meet the requirements of any licensing or microchip registration mandate.
This cooperative work has resulted in our national platform – the new standard for pet registration and reunification – being made available for all communities and all pet owners.
So far, over 300 communities have joined DocuPet saving time, saving money, increasing registrations, and reducing shelter intakes.
Every 3 days, a new community connects to DocuPet. By the end of 2026, we aim to have more than 600 partner agencies working together.
As an aligned nationwide network, we and our partners will ensure that the message to every pet parent is consistent and clear: registered and tagged pets make everyone’s lives better.
