| ABOUT PETDATA® | About | Experience | Management |
PetData®, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, provides animal licensing services for municipalities and animal welfare agencies throughout North America. The company, a member of the National Animal Control Association, has been in business since 1993 and currently administers animal licensing programs for animal control and humane organizations across the country. PetData has over 10 years of experience with animal licensing programs, and has processed over 2,000,000 licenses.
PetData’s primary goal is to increase animal licensing compliance. PetData can do this by combining professional customer service and up-to-date technology with our proven methods for success. As licensing increases and more revenue is generated, the greater goals of reducing animal euthanasia and resolving animal control problems can be met.
Meeting the Mission of Animal Control
PetData has been providing animal licensing for municipalities since 1995 and understands the mission of municipal animal control and animal welfare organizations and the role that animal licensing, and therefore PetData, plays in meeting that mission. PetData's goals are based on the belief that a successful animal licensing program eases the burden placed on local animal control services. Proper licensing results in a reduction in the number of animals which enter animals shelters, and therefore eliminates the expense that would have been associated with the care, feeding, and disposition of these licensed animals. Enforcement of licensing helps to ensure compliance with rabies vaccination requirements, which in turn reduces the probability of an outbreak of rabies in the local animal population. Finally, proper education on the benefits of licensing and vaccination generally promotes more responsible pet ownership, resulting in a safer, more informed community.
History of PetData®
PetData was formed within PetFind®, founded
in 1993 as a division of SafetyNet, Inc., one of the country's largest
driver safety monitoring companies. The original service of PetFind®,
was a 24-hour, 365-day lost and found service utilizing the toll-free
number 1-800-PET-FIND. In 1994, the City of Dallas decided to privatize
its animal licensing service, and PetFind® bid on the contract. In
1995, PetFind® was awarded a three-year contract. In 1997, the City
of Raleigh chose to privatize its animal licensing services, and the
company was awarded this contract as well. In November of 1998, SafetyNet
was purchased by a competitor and PetFind was divested from SafetyNet
and renamed PetData®, Inc. The company now focuses solely on the administration
of animal licensing programs.
