Keeping pets safe at home shouldn’t be complicated, and it should never come with a price tag. That’s why we built the National Pet Registry with simple, effective reunification tools available to pet owners and animal welfare organizations completely free of charge.
All of your pet's information is included in their online profile which links to their tag. Anyone who finds your pet can easily view your secure online profile, create a Found Pet Report that will be automatically sent to you, or call our 24/7 HomeSafe® hotline to facilitate a reunion.
Select details such as owner contact information, emergency contacts, identifying photos, care instructions and more may be made viewable upon searching your pet's tag code to allow for a quick and safe reunion.
Upgrade options include etched personalization or selecting from hundreds of colorful designer tag styles including the option to design your very own!

With the click of a button, a Lost Pet Report may be created, triggering immediate actions to broadcast, identify, and retrieve your lost pet.
This Lost Report can be sent to all registered pet owners in your area and includes important reunification information such as identifying photos, contact information, last known location and more.
Your Lost Pet Report can be shared with Petco Love Lost, a lost and found pet database using photo-matching technology to bring lost pets back home with a single click. Your report will also be shared with the National Animal Shelter Network, so shelter teams can quickly identify your pet if it comes into their care.
Anyone who finds your pet can easily look up their profile via the link on their tag, complete a Found Pet Report, or contact the phone number etched on their tag to facilitate a reunion. Our dispatch team is available 24/7 to field these calls and will work diligently to connect you with the person who has found your pet.
Our HomeSafe® Smart Tracker provides precise GPS location using the 5G network. Features such as Virtual Fences, Find Nearby, and Live Tracking allow for ultimate peace of mind knowing the exact location of a furry friend. This powerful device also features activity and medical-grade health monitoring and provides custom AI insights tailored to your pet's age and breed.
10 million pets go missing each year. That's 166 pets separated from their owners each minute. HomeSafe® exists to prepare pets and their owners for the unexpected. The effort is minimal, the service is free, and the reward (a pet safe and happy at home with family) is priceless.
This morning, I went to take out the trash and Bandit pushed past me and got out the back gate. I ran after him and looked for about 30 minutes. We got a call from DocuPet saying that a neighbor found Bandit a few blocks over and they called the number on his tag. DocuPet was very helpful and we had Bandit home within 10 minutes. I'm so glad he had his DocuPet tag on or we probably wouldn't have found him. Thank you to everyone for their help bringing Bandit home this morning ❤️

We just moved, and Bear found a loose board in the backyard fence and disappeared. Thanks to the quick action of neighbors, Bear was on a leash and reported as found. This all happened in just a matter of minutes. Lord knows what would've happened to my boy without a conscientious neighbor and quick access to DocuPet. I'm very impressed by how quickly DocuPet responded and grateful to everyone involved.

Isabella has rarely (twice in 9 years) gotten out, but while out running errands, I received a text that Isabella had been found and was at someone else's place - safe but we needed to contact them. What we didn't realize is that she wasn't even wearing her tag, so the only thing that saved her from ending up in the Animal Rescue place was DocuPet registration. So glad our girl was safe and we got her back quickly

Khalua and DJ both got out, unbeknownst to us, DJ wasn't wearing his tag or collar. We received a call that Khalua had been found and secured, but the finders couldn't secure DJ who was within sight but couldn't be caught. I drove to meet the finders and I was able to locate DJ a block away and got him in the car safely. If it wasn't for Khalua having her DocuPet tag on, I never would have found them.

While we were visiting family out-of-state over the holidays, our golden retriever Myah got lost in a new neighborhood after being let outside on what was supposed to be a quick potty break. As we were frantically looking everywhere for her, DocuPet notified me that she had been found and was warm and safe inside a neighbor's garage. We had her back home within minutes. It was such a relief to know that she had been found! We were so grateful for the swift communication by the neighbor and DocuPet to let us know she was okay. Thank you for providing this service to help keep our beloved pets - our family - safe!

I was getting back to the car from my morning desert walk when my dog Finley ran off as I was opening the car door. I frantically covered about a 1/2 mile on foot to no avail. I tried again with another person without success. I began to fear the worst when I received a call from a local business that informed me that Finley was found by an employee and ready to be picked up. I asked how they knew how to contact me and was told they reached out to DocuPet from the phone number on the tag. DocuPet played a major role in expediting his recovery. A big shout out to DocuPet for helping in getting Finley back!

Our pets can't imagine life without us. We can't imagine that they could end up lost. The reality is that this happens every single day to thousands of pets across North America. Your pet deserves a plan. With detailed specifics and a dedicated team available 24/7, HomeSafe™ is the vital resource your pet needs in order to make it back home to you quickly.

License tags on collars are important.
Lost pets with proper identification tags not only make it back home faster…
...They are actively supporting local shelters by opening up valuable space and resources for the animals that need it.
A lost pet isn't just a problem for that pet and their family, it's a problem for the entire community. We created HomeSafe™ to help solve this major issue faced by communities and families across the U.S. and Canada.
Here are some of their stories.
“I was traveling in the UK while my family in Colorado was caring for my dog, Melvin. I got a call from DocuPet he had gotten out. I gave DocuPet my family's phone numbers and Melvin was quickly returned home safely. Thank you DocuPet for the safe return of my beloved boy, I am so grateful!”

“Knox is a chocolate lab, he’s really smart and opened the front door by pulling down the handle. He got out for about two hours, and then I heard from DocuPet that a neighbor found Knox and would keep him until I was able to pick him up. I’m really grateful to DocuPet for informing me and thankful for my neighbor holding on to Knox, rather than calling the local pound. Knox is an escape artist; DocuPet has really saved us a couple of times!”

“Juneau decided to go on an adventure one evening by herself. I was surprised to get a voicemail from someone who lived several miles from my home asking if Juneau was mine. I was traveling and because of the time difference I didn’t catch up to the message for at least 12 hours. Fortunately, the folks that found Juneau also contacted DocuPet who then contacted me. We got Juneau back home shortly afterwards.”

“My daughter and I spent the afternoon searching for her and were so happy to get a call from DocuPet saying that Pepper was safe and only a block away.”
Harly — Spokane, WA
“Harvey, apparently tired of lockdown, slipped out unnoticed through the open garage door. He was gone for over an hour but luckily, just as we noticed he was missing, I received a DocuPet email stating that he was found! I was able to easily contact the person who found him and picked Sir Harvey up the same day!”

Your pet's tag includes a unique HomeSafe™ code linked to their profile. You have the option to include your personal phone number, or include our 24/7 hotline on your pet’s tag. If your pet gets away, anyone who finds your furry friend can simply look up that code and create a Found Pet Report in seconds.
Our HomeSafe™ staff receives your lost pet alert, or a call to our 24/7 hotline, and gets to work on finding your pet. We collaborate with Facebook groups, local shelters and other animal services providers in the area to get the word out.
The more information in your pet’s profile, the more helpful it will be in getting them home. Upload a current photo of your pet and include important details so they are easily identifiable. You get to decide when and what information is made available to anyone searching your pet’s code.
The moment you realize your pet is missing, you can sign into your account and create a Lost Pet Report. You’ll add details about where you last saw your pet and ensure all of your contact and pet information is up to date.
In addition to our dedicated staff, your Lost Pet Report is sent to DocuPet members in your community. They'll know to be on the lookout and notify you or our HomeSafe™ staff if they spot, or take in your companion.
Providing our pets with the HomeSafe™ service is a quick and easy safeguard we can provide for them.
