Found Animals Launches Patented Online Pet Microchip Registry
Found Animals Foundation, a privately funded nonprofit organization founded in 2006, has announced the launch of a patented online pet microchip registry system.
The registry system is free of charge to all pet owners and is aimed at making microchipping and animal registration easier, hence allowing lost pets to reunite with their families much faster. Found Animals has already donated over 300,000 microchips to shelters and clinics throughout the Los Angeles, California area. They will unveil the new microchip registry system at America’s Family Pet Expo in Costa Mesa, California, taking place April 20 through April 22, at booth 706.
The microchip registry is designed with automatic alert system features so that when a lost animal is found by a shelter, the pet’s microchip triggers an automated alert to pet owners. In turn, the pet owner can be more expeditiously reunited with their lost animal. Automatic alerts will include calling, texting, and emailing the pet’s owner and any emergency contacts given. Found Animals will microchip pets at their booth during the expo for a fee of $15, which will include free lifetime registration.
Erin Nelson, Microchip Program Director of Found Animals, shared, “These immediate Found Pet Alerts are something no other provider is offering. Automated alerts ensure the greatest likelihood of contacting an owner using minimal shelter time and effort. It's all part of a process that is easier, faster and more effective for pet owners and shelters alike."
The Found Animals Microchip Registry website is free for registration, accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, and all Found Animal microchips are American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recommended for ISO standard 134.2 frequency, allowing them to be read by all universal scanners.
The Executive Director of Found Animals, Aimee Gilbreath, shared that the first target areas for the registry are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego. The group believes that as Californians use the system, more pets will be reunited with their owners.
