If you do not activate the chip, no one knows who you are or how to contact you!
A shelter will read the microchip number, but no owner information is attached. Your pet is at risk of being adopted or being euthanized if an owner cannot be found!
If someone finds your lost pet, the odds are high they will take him/her to a local shelter. This will waste time, cause anxiety for your pet and cost you money when you go to the shelter to claim your pet.
SafePlaces prevents all of that! Once you are a member, log in and list two ‘Safe Places’. Neighbors, friends or family. When your pet is found by someone, we will give that person the location of your nearest ‘Safe Place’. Your pet is simply dropped off and never enters a shelter. You can change your SafePlaces any time!
Now you can train your pet from anywhere, at anytime. Just log in to your Member Dashboard, choose the video you need and train away!! Free to members and updated frequently so training can be fun.

Start by entering the chip number into the Pet Microchip Lookup Tool. https://www.aaha.org/petmicrochiplookup. This search engine will tell you which company the chip is registered with.

Note: If the chip was manufactured by us and is NOT registered to an individual owner, we will attempt to track it to the source – vet or rescue or breeder – to help facilitate the reunion.
