Why free for shelters?
Most shelter management tools treat reunification as an add-on module — something bolted onto intake software, billed back to your department. Shepherd's platform is the reunification network, plus a national microchip registry and a Spotlight feed that puts your hardest-to-place animals in front of the entire country. We keep it free for shelters by charging pet owners a one-time $19.99 lifetime registration for chip profiles — not by billing your department.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does chip registration cost?
$19.99 one time — lifetime coverage for your first pet. Each additional pet is $9.99. Lost & found reports are always free with no account required.
Does our shelter have to pay anything?
No. Shepherd is completely free for shelters and animal control departments — full stop. We'd rather have you in the network than not.
Is there a recurring fee?
No. The $19.99 is a one-time lifetime registration — no subscription, no renewal. Your pet's profile never expires.
