About us

Rescue Pet Finder brings together cats and dogs for adoption from rescue centres across the UK, checked every day.

Our goal is to make it easier to adopt a pet from a nearby rescue centre, by listing them together in one filterable dataset. Every listing comes from the rescue centre’s own website, and every website is checked daily.

Before adoption

What rescue centres do before adoption

Health checks, neutering and microchipping, a home check, and a chat to find the right match. Every rescue does it a little differently.
