To register microchips that were added to the animal's record post-adoption, you can either log into your found.org account, or send a manual upload file to Found Animals. You can also do this for any period when your auto-uploads were not working as expected.
 
 

Adopted Animals

  1. Run the 'Adopter Support' Quick Report (under the Adopter tab) for the date range that covers the adoptions of these animals
  2. Export the report as Excel
  3. Delete the columns for Animal ID, By, and Outcome Subtype
  4. Split the Associated Person field into First Name and Last Name, then delete the associated person column
  5. Email the file to the Found Animals Registry support team at clientcare@found.org and ask them to manually upload it to your registry account

 

Animals Still in Your Custody

  1. Build a Custom Entities Animals Report for In Custody animals and select "Current Snapshot"
  2. Click "Add Rule" once and do not select a rule
  3. Click "Customize Report Columns" and make sure these columns are selected:
    • Intake Date
    • Animal Name
    • Species
    • Primary Breed
    • Sex
    • Date of Birth
    • Microchip Number
  4. Run the report and export it as Excel
  5. Add a new column with the header "Email Address"
  6. On every row of the "Email Address" column, enter the email address associated with your Found Animals Registry account
  7. Email the file to the Found Animals Registry support team at clientcare@found.org and ask them to manually upload it to your registry account

 

Animals Transferred Out

  1. Build a Custom Events Outcome Report for the date range you'd like to be included
  2. Click "Add Rule" and add a Rule for the Outcome type to match "Transfer Out"
  3. Click "Customize Report Columns" and make sure these columns are selected:
    • Animal ID #
    • Animal Name
    • Species
    • Primary Breed
    • Sex
    • Microchip Number
    • Outcome Date
    • Transfer To
  4. Run the report and export it as Excel
  5. Add a new column with the header "Email Address"
  6. On every row of the "Email Address" column, enter the email address associated with the transfer partner's found.org account (you'll have to get this information from your transfer partners).
  7. Email the file to the Found Animals Registry support team at clientcare@found.org and ask them to manually upload it to your registry account
