✅ The Ethical Process

  1. Enter the microchip number.

    • Our system checks if the breeder or rescue registered this chip with Ethical Dogs International.

  2. If registered:

    • The breeder/rescue is contacted first, ensuring they have the opportunity to take responsibility.

  3. If no response or not registered:

    • Next ethical step is to reach out to a verified rescue specializing in the breed.

  4. Only then:

    • Rehoming outside of contracts or rescues is considered.

The Ethical Way

Protecting Dogs for Life Starts Here

Every dog deserves stability, safety, and a forever home. That’s why Ethical Dogs International created the world’s first Ethical Microchip Lookup — a system designed not just to identify dogs, but to honor the ethical responsibility of breeders, rescues, and rehomers.

🔎 Why Microchip Lookup Matters

  • Breeders have a lifelong responsibility.
    Ethical breeders want to know if one of their dogs is in need — and in most contracts, they require first right of return.

  • Rescues shouldn’t waste resources.
    Non-profit rescues spend limited time and money saving dogs. Before they step in, the ethical step is to confirm whether the original breeder will reclaim the dog.

  • Rehoming should never skip steps.
    Before a family passes a dog to another home, they must verify whether the breeder or a breed-specific rescue has a duty or right to intervene.

🌍 Why This Matters for Dogs

  • Respects breeder contracts and prevents violations.

  • Saves rescues resources for truly abandoned animals.

  • Protects dogs from bouncing between homes or landing in shelters.

  • Creates accountability for everyone involved in the dog’s life.

  • Helps prevent the overcrowding crisis in shelters by ensuring dogs go back to breeders or breed-specific rescues first, instead of entering an already overburdened system.
