AVID offers an innovative program designed to place readers in shelters at no cost to the shelter, or the taxpayer! Area veterinarians and AVID are donating readers to shelters that promise to check animals for the AVID Microchips. • If my pet is found, how does the shelter know to contact me?

PETtrac is a global computerized tracking system for companion animals identified with the AVID
