Our adoption process is simple and safe. First, browse our featured pets or search by location, breed, or age. When you find a pet you're interested in, contact the shelter directly through our platform. The shelter will guide you through their specific adoption requirements, which may include an application, home visit, and adoption fee.

Yes! All our partner shelters ensure that pets are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receive proper veterinary care before being listed for adoption. Each pet's profile includes their medical history and current health status.

Don't worry! We work with over 500 shelters nationwide, and new pets are added daily. You can set up alerts for specific breeds or characteristics, and our adoption specialists are always available to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle and family.

Adoption fees vary by shelter and typically range from $50-$300. These fees usually cover vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and other medical care the pet has received. This is significantly less than purchasing a pet from a breeder and helps support the shelter's mission.

All shelters on our platform are carefully vetted to ensure they meet high standards of animal care. We verify their licensing, inspect their facilities, and check their adoption policies. You can also read reviews from other adopters and see each shelter's accreditation status on their profile.
