Providenciales, 29 Sept 2015 – The Department of Agriculture through its recently launched Re-Home programme is ensuring that family pets are properly licensed or registered under the Dogs Ordinance.

RE-HOME™ is the licensing and registration programme developed for dogs and cats respectively as part of the National Animal Traceability and Identification Programme (NATIP™).

The inaugural event took place in South Caicos and the Department says their purpose is to encourage pet owners to microchip, license their dogs and register their cats in order to build a pet identification database, to use the database for animal disease control and to reunite lost pets with their rightful owners.
