National Animal Abuse Registry (PASS)
Animal Victory is promoting PASS — the national Pet Adoption Screening Service created, administered, and recently launched by
North Shore Animal League America.
PASS helps participating shelters share information on prospective adopters whose applications have been declined due to serious animal welfare concerns.

What is PASS?
PASS (Pet Adoption Screening Service) is a centralized registry designed for participating shelters and rescue organizations.
It provides an additional method of screening to support safer, more informed adoption decisions across the United States.
- Identify patterns of declined adoption applications across jurisdictions
- Improve consistency in screening when applicants move between states
- Add another layer of protection for animals, rescues, shelters, and adopters
PASS is meant to provide organizations with an additional method of screening — the decision to approve or deny an adoption remains up to each organization and its policies.
Animal Victory’s Role
We’re helping raise awareness so more shelters can participate and protect animals through stronger screening tools.
- Promote the existence of PASS to shelters and rescues nationwide
- Encourage adoption partners to join and use the registry responsibly
