AKC CAR registration and microchips

Basenji Rescue
  • For a discussion on another thread, I went to the AKC CAR (Companion Animal Recovery) site to see if the chip manufacturers were noted. To my surprise when I logged into my profile my dogs were no longer listed with my profile. I know they were there previously so I re-added their microchips and all of the record details reappeared. So the info was all there in the database but it wasn't associated with my profile anymore for some reason. Just thought I would mention this so people can go back and double-check their info. The site is below.

    https://www.akccar.org/

    Here is a microchip look-up site, I think there are few more (there was a Whole Dog Journal article on it a few years ago). I typed both of my dog's chip numbers in here and the information came up properly with the different registrations I had on the chips (AKC CAR, HomeAgain).

  • I love that they register all chips.

    Well that's lovely, I am not listed either. Will have to pull record out of folder and resubmit mine too! I am going to CALL them to see what the problem is!

  • Thank you for this information…I never knew there was a central registry for all chips. I'm going to go there and add the one for Gracie and will add the one for Blaze when we get him chipped.

    @elbrant - Nothing to verify, they put in the "ad" what the pup received... and also a Vet would not give out that information. Like I said below, I did fill out their requested form but have not received a response. My bet it someone already got scammed...sad to say

    Please go to Basenjirescue.org and join as a member. It will show you are serious about helping. BRAT always needs good foster homes. A home visit will be required (not sure if that is possible at this time considering this COVID-19 crisis). It is especially helpful if you have basenji experience. Not always, but very often, a basenji coming into rescue has special needs (i.e., behavioral, medical, etc.). It is good to ask yourself if you and your family are willing to deal with that. Fostering is hard but it can also be a wonderful and rewarding thing to do.

    Its fine that you might want to protect yourself on any list. I think what your doing, well, its good that YOU get the credit. Re rescue booth work. Its really something I make time for in the PNW. My all breed dog club goes to areas, and I am there. I even do the Bull's Eye pit bull rescue booth, and I have to tell you, I have seen more attitude with a lot of b's than I did with these lovely PB..but that is of topic. Anyway, we admire you, Brenda or Melissa, just let us know how we should address you. Oh, I see..its Melissa…good!
