Our Story
Workers and volunteers at pet shelters and in animal services departments work tirelessly to care for and rehome millions of pets each year. They are the primary caregivers for the most desperate animals in our communities. Unfortunately, they struggle to raise the necessary funds to support their work.
We wanted to help.
When we learned that up to 60% of pet shelter funding and animal services budgets comes from license sales but that just 13% of pet owners comply with mandatory registration laws, our mission was born.
Since 2014, DocuPet has partnered with local shelters and communities to increase pet license sales, decrease workload, and build programs that reduce shelter stays.
By providing pet owners with better pet tags, a free lost pet service, gift vouchers and deals, and lots of information about pet care in your community, we hope that pet license registration is now as valuable to them as it is to animal welfare in your community.
Learning from the Pros
We began at the source, consulting with pet licensing administrators and compliance officers to learn about the challenges they face
Building and Testing
We set out to build a system that would remove the time and resourcing burdens for administrators and be a joy for pet owners to use
Launch and Optimize
The Licensing System rolled out to over 35 Pet Licensing Organizations and we used real world customers to optimize and improve all facets of the program
Increase Compliance
Relentless optimization has resulted in over 200% compliance rate increase in many communities by 2017
DocuPet Everywhere!
In 2018 we rolled out more than 10 new programs across the United States and Canada.
