RescueGroups.org recently invited reputable microchip vendors and registries to contact us concerning integrating their services with the rescue and shelter community.
We’re pleased to announce that we are partnering strategically with 911PetChip™ and FreePetChipRegistry™ to provide electronic microchip registrations.
911PetChip™ and FreePetChipRegistry™ exceed our requirements and expectations for a community-focused microchip vendor and registry.
What does this strategic partnership mean to shelters and rescues?
This partnerships means that rescues and shelters will soon be able to electronically register microchips to their new adoptive owners.
For more information, please visit this web page:

When can we start using this feature?
You can start buying microchips from 911PetChip™ immediately.
However, the changes to the RescueGroups.org services, and the actual microchip registration process is still being developed. We will make an announcement in the near future (currently expecting within 5-7 weeks) to let you know when the microchip registration functionality will be available for you to use within your RescueGroups.org services.
What if we’re already using a different system? Why should we use this one instead?
There are several major reasons you should consider the RescueGroups.org system for your microchip registrations, including:
- RescueGroups.org is a non-profit, and we answer only to you
- There’s nothing to sell or buy (like pet health insurance)
- Our microchip partners are required to provide opt-out options for new owners, so no surprise solicitation phone calls
- No registration or maintenance fees
- The registration will be integrated with your RescueGroups.org service!
How do we switch over if we’re already using another system?
We’ll help you as much as possible if you’d like to switch over to our services.
If you’re already using PetPoint specifically, we can help you by importing your animals, contacts, intakes and outcomes from your PetPoint account.
