On Purple Poppy Day, 24 February each year, the Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation (AWAMO) remembers and honours the animals that have served (and still do serve) in war and conflict.
Purple poppies are designed to be worn alongside the traditional red one as a reminder of their bravery and that both humans and animals served together.

HomeSafeID’s Animal Registry Service has now closed.

From 7 February 2025, HomeSafeID is no longer licensed under the Domestic Animals Act 1994 to keep and maintain an animal (microchip) registry service for Victorian pet owners.

Animal Welfare Victoria (AWV) has received all Victorian records for cats, dogs and horses from HomeSafeID in accordance with the Domestic Animals Regulations 2015. This is to ensure this data is not lost and will be provided to an alternative animal registry service licensed in Victoria for continuity of service.

AWV has developed the below to assist with queries you may receive from your members or alternatively you may refer your members to our website Domestic Animal (microchip ) registries.

• If you are in Victoria and are unsure which database your pet's microchip is currently registered with, you can visit this website: https://petaddress.com.au.
• If you identify your pet’s microchip being registered with HomeSafeID, and your pet is not a cat, dog or horse, you are advised to start the process to register the microchip with one of the other Victorian licensed registries listed below:
· Central Animal Records
· Australian Animal Registry
· Global Microchip Animal Registry
· Petsafe Register
• There may be a cost associated with this process which is determined by the registry.
• AWV is in the process of selecting a currently approved animal registry service to receive the Victorian data for cats, dogs and horses. Once this data is received by the selected animal registry service, owners will be contacted by the registry with further information in the coming weeks including with details on how to update your records.
• For species other than cats, dogs or horses, you may wish to register any new and existing microchips with another approved registry (above).
• If your pet’s microchip is registered with one of the other licensed registries there is no further action required from you, other than ensuring your contact details are up to date with the microchip registry your pet is listed with in the event they ever go missing.
• It is important to keep your pet’s microchip details up to date in the event they ever go missing so they can be reunited with you as soon as possible.

West Highland White Terrier 🐾
The West Highland White Terrier is big-hearted, clever, alert and full of self-esteem. Westies suit owners who have time to spend with them. They are very adaptable and can enjoy taking a leisurely stroll with an older adult or equally running around outdoors playing with the family.

Did you know?
Westies like to dig as they were bred to hunt vermin and dig them out when they hid underground.

To read more about the West Highland White Terrier please see the Breed Spotlight in the Dogs Victoria magazine
