DocuPet, a pet licensing company, has been the official pet licensing partner of the PHS. Pets can get their tags at the animal shelter to help lost animals be returned to their owners faster and easier.

“These funds will help support our mission and provide essential care and services to the thousands of animals we see each year,” said Shawn Morey, PHS executive director. “Our goal is to increase pet licensing compliance within the City, and with the support of DocuPet and responsible pet owners in our great City, this generous donation is made possible”.

Twenty per cent of all designer tag sales purchased from DocuPet go towards the Peterborough Humane Society according to the press release.

PHC encourages valid pet tags since those animals spend little to no time at all at the shelter. That opens up valuable time, space and resources for local animals in need and the dedicated staff that serves them.
