Founded in 1966, NDR is by far the largest and most respected registry of its kind. In fact, NDR developed the concept of registering a pet tattoo for protection against loss and theft. The founders of NDR lost a loved pet to thieves and spent weeks searching pounds, wholesale dealers and laboratories to no avail. Through their grief, National Dog Registry was formed. NDR is run by people whose li
ves are devoted to the welfare and well-being of animals everywhere. NDR follows a Code of Ethics that is second to none it its commitment to animal protection. We are now extending our networking capabilities by providing our services through the Internet. Our new site will have a good deal of additional information about our history, services, and successful pet recovery record.The National Dog Registry hereby pledges the continuance of its vital endeavor: the safe return of lost and stolen pets to their homes. Such interests impose grave social responsibilities and a duty to which NDR freely dedicates itself. Over and over, year in and year out, as we field calls from all across the world, the staff of the National Dog Registry delights in the experience of reuniting missing pets with their grieving owners. We have the deeply satisfying pleasure of saying, "Mrs. Jones, we have located your Shepherd, Duke, at a pound in Centerville. He is healthy, safe, and they are waiting for your call." It’s hard to describe the kinds of reactions people have--some yell with joy, others are amazed and shocked, many cry. The circumstances of each recovery are unique and part of the thousands of heartwarming cases in NDR’s files. Some of these HAPPY ENDINGS are shared below. If you are a pet lover, perhaps you would be interested in becoming an NDR Authorized Agent. Tattooing is a rewarding, easy to learn business that can earn a substantial income. We'll even teach you how! Perhaps not surprisingly, the most vulnerable pets are the ones that seem to be the safest. They spend most of their time in the house, usually with a member of the family around, or in the yard, so they are not streetwise or accustomed to strange environments. Remember, dogs are not homing pigeons. No matter how vigilant you are about your pet’s safety, there is no guaranteed way to prevent him or her from becoming lost or stolen. But there is something you can do to help protect your beloved pet if the worst should happen. The National Dog Registry can give your pet a simple, painless tattoo that will provide a permanent, registered identification--and a way back home.
