Reunite pets faster. PawsitivID is a single digital platform for municipalities, shelters, and animal control. It combines AI-powered pet identification, automated licensing, and instant visual matching. Field cases that used to take officers 1–2 hours of calls and coordination now resolve in 20–30 minutes. Built by Datag Inc. Most cities run pet-licensing compliance at 13–23%. PawsitivID embeds registration into every owner touchpoint and lifts that number through digital workflows. ## Three reasons organizations choose us Everything your team needs to manage pet identification, licensing, and lost-pet recovery without the paperwork. ### Digital licensing Replace paper applications and office visits with a fully digital workflow. Pet owners self-serve. You collect revenue in real time. - Online licence applications and payments - Automatic renewal reminders - Instant licence lookup for officers - Real-time revenue capture and compliance analytics ### AI visual matching Found a pet with no tag or microchip? Snap a photo. AI matches the pet's face against every registered pet in seconds. Pets are returned directly to owners. Shelter intake is bypassed. - 99.7% biometric identification accuracy - Works without microchip, collar, or tag - Nose print, fur pattern, and facial structure - Direct-to-owner returns ### Field-ready for officers Officers identify any pet instantly in the field. Scan a face. Pull up registration, vaccination records, and owner info. Resolve cases in 20–30 minutes instead of 1–2 hours. Prompt registration on the spot. - Mobile-friendly dashboard - Instant pet detail retrieval - On-the-spot compliance enforcement - 20–30 minute case resolution ## Results from day one PawsitivID moves the numbers that matter, not just the workflow. - **1–2 hrs → 20–30 min.** Average case resolution time for officers. - **Beyond 15–20%.** Licensing compliance with embedded registration touchpoints. Most jurisdictions sit at 13–23% ([AVMA](https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/avma-policies/dog-and-cat-population-management)). - **Direct-to-owner returns.** Fewer animals in shelters, lower operating costs. US shelters take in 5.8M dogs and cats a year ([ASPCA](https://www.aspca.org/helping-shelters-people-pets/us-animal-shelter-statistics)), and only 19% of dogs are returned to their owners ([Shelter Animals Count](https://www.shelteranimalscount.org/2025-report)). - **Real-time.** Revenue capture with no leakage and no lag. ## Built for real workflows Whether you run a city licensing office, a shelter, or an animal control unit, PawsitivID fits how you already work. Veterinary clinics upload vaccination records to the same shared profile during visits. ### Municipality — go paperless with digital licensing Pet owners register and pay for licenses through the app. Your team gets a real-time dashboard of every license issued, pending renewal, and dollar collected. Push ordinance updates, renewal notices, and emergency alerts to verified owners in your jurisdiction. Track rabies vaccination compliance across the whole pet population. ### Shelter — reunite found pets with their owners When a pet arrives, snap a few photos. The AI searches the registry for a visual match. If the pet is registered, you get the owner's contact immediately, with no microchip scanner needed. For pets that stay, every adopted animal is registered and licensed before it leaves. ### Animal control — look up any pet in the field Responding to a call about a loose dog? Take a photo and get the full registration: owner name, address, license status, vaccination records. Return pets directly home and bypass shelter intake. If a pet is not registered, prompt the owner on the spot. ## Everything your team needs A complete platform for the real demands of municipal licensing, shelter intake, and animal control fieldwork. - **AI-Verified Pet Registry.** Every pet has a biometric ID verified by AI.
