How to Utilize Shelterluv for a Microchip Clinic


Featuring Effortless Automatic Microchip Registration with Adopterluv
Running a vaccine, spay/neuter, or microchip clinic is an incredible way to support your community and help pets stay healthy and safe. Shelterluv makes the process simple from start to finish, especially when it comes to microchip registration. If you’re using Adopterluv Microchips and Registry, you can rest easy knowing that every microchip you add during the clinic can be automatically registered to the pet’s owner—no extra forms, no manual uploads, and no chasing down paperwork.
Why Automatic Registration Matters
Manually registering microchips after a busy clinic can be time-consuming and prone to error. With Shelterluv’s built-in auto-upload feature for Adopterluv Microchips, microchip registration happens in the background as part of your normal intake and outcome process. This means:
-
No extra data entry—your existing workflow does the work for you.
-
No missed registrations—every eligible chip gets uploaded automatically.
-
Instant peace of mind for pet owners—chips are linked to their contact info right away, improving the chances of a happy reunion if their pet is ever lost.
Processing a Service Intake
Animals that come in for one of your services should be processed with a service intake followed by a service outcome once the animal is released back to the owner.
Pro Tip: You may want to configure certain service intake and outcome subtypes so they don’t count toward your intake and outcome numbers for reporting purposes, since these animals are owned by members of the public.
If you’re processing service intakes as pre-intake records, keep in mind that microchips added to these animals will not be included in auto-uploads to registries until the intake is completed.
Steps:
-
Begin the service intake following these instructions.
-
Once complete, the animal is officially in your custody—you can add or edit all medical details in their record.
-
If a microchip is added during this time and your auto-upload feature is turned on for the Adopterluv registry, it will be queued for automatic registration.
Completing a Service Outcome
When the service (vaccine, surgery, or microchip) is complete, you’ll process a service outcome using these instructions.
Here’s the best part—once you finalize the outcome, Shelterluv automatically registers the microchip to the person associated with the record. No follow-up required. The owner leaves with their pet, confident that the chip is already in the system.
Extra Efficiency Tips for Clinics
-
Skip the shopping cart flow on the Service Intake form if you’re not collecting payment immediately.
-
Use attributes to tag these animals as part of a specific program—this makes them easy to find in historical reports and helps differentiate them from other in-custody animals.
In Summary
With Shelterluv and Adopterluv Microchips, your microchip clinics don’t just get pets chipped—they ensure every chip is registered before the pet walks out the door. It’s a faster, safer, and more reliable process for you, your team, and your community.
When you combine service intake/outcome workflows with automatic registry uploads, you’re not just providing a service—you’re giving pet owners long-term peace of mind.
