PawTrace Community

Every dog deserves a trusted record.

Shelter and rescue dogs get the same lifetime passport as any puppy — free, forever, with no revenue attached.

Our rules

Written down, so you can hold us to them.

No fees, ever

Not to shelters, not to adopters, not later.

Bounded budget, funded from day one

Community is a cost we plan for, not a promise we hope to keep.

Your name, your consent

No shelter is named as a partner until it agrees in writing.

Anti‑puppy‑mill by design

Take‑back accountability and intake records close the loop.

What we offer shelters and rescues

  • Free passports for every adopted dog — microchip, vaccinations, medical history, spay/neuter, intake origin
  • Surrender & rehoming transfer with history intact
  • Breeder take‑back notifications
  • Optional pass‑through donations at deposit checkout — 100% through the charity’s own channel
  • “Adopt first” in buyer search · lost‑dog reunification via passport QR
  • A seat on our advisory group

For shelters and rescues

We’d like to build this with you.
