Nonprofit donor infrastructure
A wider search for every canine patient.
DLA Match is building a national, consent-based donor registry for veterinary transplant teams—so a compatible donor is not limited to the dogs a family already knows.
Independent nonprofit initiative in formation. Clinical review remains required.

Exact genotype matchWhy this exists
Built because Roux needed a wider search.
DLA Match began while Roux’s family navigated the search for a compatible stem-cell donor and found that critical coordination still depended on folders, calls, and individual relationships.
The goal is practical: give transplant teams secure, shared infrastructure to find consented donors, review typing provenance, and coordinate next steps—without replacing clinical judgment.

Clinical workflow
One search, with every decision visible.
The matcher compares unordered allele multisets at four configured loci. Missing or uncertain calls are surfaced for review—not converted into mismatches.

Preview Synthetic data demonstrates the intended clinical workflow. Active registry consent includes contact permission, and every access is auditable.
Nonprofit commitment
The network serves patients, donors, and clinical teams.
Matching supports—not replaces—transplant-center review.
Founding centers and laboratories will shape the operating model.
Owner and patient information will not be sold.
Registry foundation
Each test can support the next patient.
Verified DLA results become searchable only after explicit owner consent and active donor availability. Provenance follows every allele call.
- Structured typing
- Four loci, eight calls, laboratory provenance, confidence, and source-document state.
- National discovery
- Database-ready signatures narrow candidates before the detailed multiset comparison.
- Consented coordination
- Eligible matches include current owner contact for verified transplant centers, with audited access and immediate opt-out controls.
Operating boundaries
Built to support—not replace—veterinary judgment.
The platform records how a result was produced, which ruleset was used, and which questions still require clinical confirmation.
Deterministic rulesVersioned, testable, historically reproducible.
Verified accessNational search is restricted to approved organizations.
Consent controlsWithdrawal excludes a donor from subsequent searches.
