Adopt Peace of Mind

At Tractive, it’s our mission to strengthen the bond between pets and their owners by leveraging technology to ensure a healthier, longer, and safer life together.

In support of this vision, we created the Tractive Shelter Project to provide animal welfare organizations with more opportunities to keep foster and rescue pets safe and secure in their new homes for 24/7 peace of mind.

After signing up, registered animal welfare organizations can order Tractive GPS for free (usually $49.99 each) with the purchase of a one-year subscription.

Why dog parents worldwide trust Tractive GPS

For many, Tractive GPS is a lifesaver. It helped them find furry friends that got lost or in trouble. Others use it to enjoy worry-free adventures, knowing they can track their buddy’s every step in real-time, even if they wander off. Some just like the 24/7 reassurance. And some see it as their four-legged friend’s fitness buddy, helping them track activity, set goals, and keep their cats and dogs in shape. In any case, it offers 100% peace of mind – from the comfort of your screen.

FAQ

How does Tractive Shelter Project work?

Easy. You sign up, and once we verify your organization, can make use of our offering – whether that means trackers for an event, free device vouchers for adopting pet parents, or a special discount for you. Sign up today!

Who should I contact for shelter-related inquiries?

Please contact shelterproject@tractive.com for all shelter-related inquiries.

Do the free vouchers also cover subscriptions?

While we can offer you free Tractive GPS tracker vouchers to pass on to new pet parents, they will need to create their own Tractive account so that they can pick the subscription that best suits them – 1, 2 or 5 year. Our plans cover all costs needed to let pet parents track their furry friends no matter how far they go.

Who is eligible for Tractive Shelter Project?

Any registered organization – whether pet shelter, pet charity or non-profit organization – that helps furry friends live safer, happier lives. You might have vulnerable animals in your care, or be training young pups to not run away. Regardless, we’re here to help you get peace of mind with real-time GPS tracking, and pass it on to pet parents who need it too.

Does the subscription start the moment we pay?

The subscriptions start the moment you pay (an extra week is automatically added to subscriptions to account for shipping time). So if you have trackers for 2 months before you send them out to fosters, the fosters would have 10 months left on their subscription.

Is there a limit of how many devices we can order? Or how many at a time? Or how many total orders we can make?

For a single order, you can order up to 50 at a time. However, there is no limit to how many total orders you can make.

Can we choose which color of devices we order?

Shelters can choose between the White, Dark Blue or Brown dog tracker, along with the XL dog tracker and Cat Mini tracker.

The foster/adopter accidentally purchased a new subscription plan instead of transferring over the existing one, what should we do?

In this case, please reach out to shelterproject@tractive.com to have the customer refunded and the original subscription reactivated. To avoid this in the future when transferring a subscription, please follow the steps in the Shelter Subscription Transfer Instructions PDF.

Are you able to drop-ship to adopters / fosters? Or do they all get shipped to me, and then I forward them on?

Though the Shelter Project is designed for bulk orders shipped directly to you, you can technically place individual orders for adopters/fosters at shelter.tractive.com. Please note though that these trackers will still be registered to your email, and would eventually have to be transferred over.

Who is responsible for payment after the transferring of a subscription? Us or the adopter?

If the subscription was self-transferred (initiated from your end), the adopter will be prompted to enter a payment method immediately which will be charged upon renewal.
If the subscription was performed manually by us, the adopter would be prompted to enter a payment method upon the renewal date to continue their subscription.

Once we transfer the subscription to a foster or adopter, will we still be able to track the pet?

Unless the foster/adopter shares tracking via Tractive’s Family Sharing feature, the answer is no. When the subscription is transferred to the foster, it then becomes tied to their Tractive account.

Can we pause an existing subscription?

Yes, in your Tractive account, you can pause your subscription on two separate occasions per year, for a maximum of eight months per year.

How can the subscription be transferred back to us if the adopter returns the pet?

Please contact shelterproject@tractive.com for the subscription to be transferred back.

Is there a limit to the number of times we can transfer a subscription?

Subscriptions registered to Shelter-approved Tractive accounts can always be transferred out to other accounts, but subscriptions registered to non-Shelter accounts will need to go through Customer Support to request a subscription transfer.

Having Tractive for Sheba’s safety gives me peace of mind, plus I can see exactly what area was covered during our search and rescue. It is a necessary tool for what we do and they are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
