Summary/Abstract: Animal homelessness is a complex issue. Animal shelters, rescue organizations, and even authorities all around the globe fight an unfair fight: the number of animals that become homeless is much greater than the number of animals that are provided for adoption or are found by them. Regardless of whether the condition of the animal is caused by abandonment or loss, these numbers grow in an alarming way The method to be implemented in a certain location, shelter, or even for individuals may be a sort of study and in many cases will depend on the cost, range, types of animals, region, and environmental issues. Many tools for record-keeping and identification of animals have been used throughout time. From collars to tattoos, from ear tags to record books, shelters, and authorities engaged in the problem have taken efforts to improve and advance in their work. With the invention of the microchip and with its almost exponential evolution, a whole new world of possibilities has opened in this area. As technology advances, new methods are implemented, such as facial recognition.
