What happens after I submit a pet transfer request?Mike Pohlman2022-04-29T14:07:20-04:00
- Once the request is received, AKC Reunite will process your transfer and transfer fee. We will email or mail the Primary Contact currently on file requesting approval of the transfer of the pet’s enrollment out of their name. (We do not share your information with the Primary Contact on file, unless you authorize us to do so.)
- The Primary Contact has 30 days to respond.
- The pet’s transfer will be handled accordingly based on whether the Primary Contact approves or rejects the request to transfer the pet’s enrollment.
- If the Primary Contact does not respond within 30 days, the transfer will be processed. Once received, the entire transfer process can take up to 35 days.

The pet’s transfer will be complete within 35 days of processing your request:
