It's there some place where I can find other works by the artist if I have doujinshi(name and artist).

Sourcing tools:
http://saucenao.com Is reliable for doujin or anything that'd be on Pixiv.
http://iqdb.org Checks various chans and booru sites, not good for furry though.
https://ibsearch.xxx If you can only search by terms 'cause you don't have the picture, but this can be rather expansive of a list.
For what you described, pretty much anywhere. But, https://exhentai.org is fairly common. You need to jump through hoops to access it, but it is rewarding...

I was thinking of something more official.
For example post #839785 which is on Pixiv I found here but there are multiple artist under the same name and search doesn't rly work on that site.
I also found some of the same here but it doesn't look complete either.

"Official" isn't much of a description, I can only imagine that you're trying to find where artists host their work (which, chances are, their work is behind a paywall).
https://thedoujin.com Is a simple to use site that loosely matches what I believe you are asking, I can draw parallels to this site but I wouldn't call it "official".

By officiall I was thinking of something like you have for novels, though novels have that publish code. I guess it would be difficult due to nature of doujins that there is something like that, since they are self-published and limited.

Well, there is one last site that I know of, but I suggest you avoid. https://hitomi.la This site is riddled with pop-ups and redirects, and I don't know how to read it.

I can't help you if you're not gonna be precise. If you are looking for an archive of doujin then I have listed some. Unless by "official", you mean "incredibly specific to what I'm looking for", I can't provide you with much because you, and others, can't access them to begin with. I know sites that do this, it's irritating as hell as the foreign artist(s) is the one promoting it, but tough luck. Unless you're specific, I have no idea where you want to be finding this content.
But if you want to help yourself, find out how to get into either G.E-hentai.org or EXhentai.org. These sites are the holy grails for porn, doujin included, and can be fairly precise in comparison to similar gallery sites. They are translated to be in English tags (which is even more to say than some e621 artists), so your aforementioned multiple artists would be avoided there.

Check wherever the creator posts their works. It seems like doujinshi normally require self-promotion.
Some relevant bits from Wikipedia (bolded for emphasis):
Dōjinshi (同人誌?, often transliterated doujinshi) is the Japanese term for self-published works, usually magazines, Manga or novels. Dōjinshi are often the work of amateurs, though some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular industry.
Since the 1980s, the main method of distribution has been through regular dōjinshi conventions, the largest of which is called Comiket (short for "Comic Market") held in the summer and winter in Tokyo's Big Sight. At the convention, over 20 acres (81,000 m2) of dōjinshi are bought, sold, and traded by attendees. Dōjinshi creators who base their materials on other creators' works normally publish in small numbers to maintain a low profile so as to protect themselves against litigation. This makes a talented creator's or circle's dōjinshi a coveted commodity as only the fast or the lucky will be able to get them before they sell out.
Despite being in direct conflict with the Japanese copyright law as many dōjinshi are derivative works and dōjinshi artists rarely secure the permission of the original creator, Comiket is still permitted to be held twice a year and holds over half-a-million people attending each time it convenes.
There are two notable instances of legal action over dōjinshi. In 1999, the author of an erotic Pokémon manga was prosecuted by Nintendo. This created a media furor as well as an academic analysis in Japan of the copyright issues around dōjinshi. At this time, the legal analysis seemed to conclude that dōjinshi should be overlooked because they are produced by amateurs for one-day events and not sold in the commercial market.
Based on that, I would assume creators of doujinshi (derived from existing copyrighted material) wouldn't use a proper publishing company for distribution because they are technically illegal to produce and sell. That also means doujinshi wouldn't use industry identification standards such as ISBNs, which require registration with an official entity, if for no other reason than to not easily trace back to the doujinshi creator(s). But then there are sites like this, so I don't really know what to think.
An addition to the sites already mentioned would be MangaUpdates, which has an extensive directory of manga and doujinshi information that can link to scanlators off-site. Unfortunately, kemono/furry doesn't seem to have much representation on any of these sites, or at least furry content is hard to find. I understand that KemonoChan/Kemonono/Kemononi was dedicated exclusively to kemono doujinshi, but the owners shut it down. In that link, "e-hentai.org has everything ever posted to Kemonono."
Sometimes, artists on Pixiv will provide a link on their profile to a site that sells their doujinshi. Alternatively, they may post a cover page and/or some teaser pages to Pixiv and then link to a distributor in those posts' descriptions.
For example, searched cover_page source:*pixiv* > post #657023 > artist's Pixiv > provided a link to the artist's website (best to switch to Chrome/browser auto-translate from here) > clicked the translated word advertisement (as in self-promotion, I assumed) > found links to these sites 1 2 selling the artist's doujinshi.
Edited a few days later: I was mostly interpreting doujinshi's Wikipedia article for this post, which was focused more on the derivative, "for fans of existing works" aspect of doujinshi. Original, amateur, manga-style works could still be considered doujinshi and obviously aren't illegal to produce, but I would not expect such works to receive the same serious commitment as full-fledged manga, meaning small releases and still no official identification like an ISBN.
