Explicit consent
A dog is not searchable until the owner accepts registry participation and contact terms.
For dog owners
Participation stays voluntary.
Owners control whether a dog’s verified DLA result is searchable, whether verified transplant centers may contact them, and whether availability remains active.
Direct coordination
Eligible exact matches include current contact details for verified transplant centers; access and outreach are audited.
Pause or withdraw
Owners can pause availability or withdraw consent; subsequent searches exclude the dog and open coordination must stop.
