Adopt A Shelter Pet License Plate Grant Opportunities!
Purchase the Adopt a Shelter Pet plate at your local Division of Motor Vehicles office or through your County Clerk office starting January 3, 2011. Simply visit either office and request the Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate.
Adopt a Shelter Pet plates may be purchased at any time during the year. You will receive credit for the time remaining between the purchase date and your annual license plate renewal date; that money will be applied to the new purchase. You may also purchase an Adopt a Shelter Pet plate upon annual renewal of your regular plates.
Costs to purchase the plate include a $50 fee for a Group Special Use License Plate, a $30 Donation to the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund for the benefit of the Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate program, plus customary license plate renewal fees.

Please note, the Licence Plate can not be obtained through the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund. Please visit your local Division of Motor Vehicles for a copy.
NEW TOOL TO HELP TO RETURN LOST PETS TO THEIR FAMILY
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) of Lakewood, CO has developed a unique tool to help finders of lost pets to locate the animal’s family. Their database will search all the microchip databases and find the most current database entry. It will provide the phone number of that database which will then be able to give you the contact information for the family.
Click on the picture of the tag to the upper right, or go to www.petmicrochiplookup.org; enter the microchip ID number and the results will display the most recent information for the animal from the AAHA Universal Microchip Database.
In order to determine if a found pet has a microchip, take the pet to the nearest veterinarian or animal shelter. They will be able to scan for a microchip with a universal scanner which reads all brands and frequencies of microchip.
Thank you for helping to reunite pets and their families.
