How Microchipping Works

The Pet Recovery Process

Your Pet Goes Missing

The unthinkable happens, but thankfully, you’ve microchipped your pet and enrolled him with HomeAgain®. You immediately notify HomeAgain through our website or by calling our hotline: 1-888-HOMEAGAIN. We are ready to help find your pet.

1 in 3 PETS GO MISSING -- WITHOUT ID, DON'T COME HOME

Recovery Network Mobilized

Within moments of receiving notification of your lost dog or lost cat, HomeAgain sends out Rapid Lost Pet Alerts with your pet’s Lost Pet poster to animal shelters, vet clinics, and volunteer PetRescuers within a 25-mile radius of where your microchipped pet was lost. Our network can help find your pet.
