Our Story
Our Story
Workers and volunteers 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 animal welfare funding 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 you with better pet tags, a free lost pet service, and lots of information about pet care in your community, we make sure that pet license registration is now as valuable to pet owners as it is to local animal welfare.
Learning from the Pros
We began at the source, consulting with pet licensing administrators and shelters 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, while providing value for pet owners
Launch and Optimize
Our solution has been rolled out to over 40 Pet Licensing Organizations since 2014. We used real world customers to optimize and improve all facets of the program
DocuPet Everywhere
DocuPet is growing quickly across North America, launching an average of one new program every two weeks.
We come to work each day to make pet licensing a joy for pet owners, a breeze for administrators, and a significant funding source for animal welfare providers. We believe by redefining and modernizing pet licensing we can help provide a safe and happy home for every pet, and we're just getting started.
This year we will launch our program in more than 20 new communities across the United States and Canada. Our partners will see updated administrative features, new ways to provide value to pet owners, and even more advanced reporting.
Pet owners who register with DocuPet are going to have amazing new pet tag options, a guarantee their pet will get home safely, and streamlined online and offline experiences.
