Common questions
What's a foster-based rescue?
It's a rescue group without a big shelter building. Their pets live with volunteer foster families until they're adopted. That means the foster usually knows the pet really well, like whether they're house trained, how they do with kids, other dogs or cats, and what their quirks are. You'll typically meet by appointment instead of walking in.
What's the difference between a shelter and a rescue?
Shelters, like city and county animal control, have a building you can visit during open hours. Rescues are usually independent nonprofits, and a lot of them are foster based. You'll find both here.
Can I adopt something besides a dog or cat?
Yep. Rescues list rabbits, birds, horses, turtles, chickens and plenty more. Pick "More" in the search to see what's near you.
How much does it cost to adopt?
It depends on the rescue and the pet. Fees often include spay or neuter, vaccines and a microchip. Check the pet's listing or ask the rescue.
Why do some pets say "Currently in" another state?
Some rescues partner with groups in other states and transport pets once they're adopted. We flag those so you know up front. Ask the rescue how transport works and what it costs.
Do I need an account to save pets?
Nope. Saved pets stay in your browser on this device.
Where do these listings come from?
Every pet comes from RescueGroups.org, which rescues and shelters use to manage their adoptable pets. We pull them live, so what you see is actually available.
