AKC Reunite Microchip Registration Overview

AKC Reunite utilizes Shelterluv's API to provide almost instant updates to your AKC Reunite registry account when you process an adoption outcome in Shelterluv.

To learn how to get an API key and send it to AKC Reunite, please take a look at How to Set Up Your Microchip Integration.

AKC Reunite's microchip registry integration is built by their team and is not managed by Shelterluv. We only provide AKC Reunite access to your data via our API once you request an API from our support team and send it to AKC Reunite. Since AKC Reunite built and manages the integration, you need to address any issues you may experience with them.

Events that Trigger Microchip Registration
