Adoption

The best pet app should help you find the pet first

Petifly is not only for people who already have a pet. Shelters and rescues publish their animals straight into the app, so browsing, applying and following the application all happen in one place, and the medical history comes with them.

How it works

From browsing to bringing them home

1
Browse
Adoptable animals from verified shelters and rescues near you, filtered by species, size, age and temperament.
2
Apply in the app
One application form, submitted to the shelter directly. No PDF to print, no email thread to lose.
3
Follow the status
See where your application stands and message the shelter without leaving Petifly.
4
Bring them home
The pet’s record, including vaccinations, medical history and notes, carries into your account on day one.

The part most apps skip

The record follows the pet

Adopting usually means starting from nothing: no vaccination history, no known allergies, no idea when the last worming was. When a shelter runs on Petifly, everything they recorded becomes your pet’s health book the moment the adoption completes.

Vaccination history and due dates, already in place
Known allergies and chronic conditions flagged from day one
Microchip and passport documents attached
The shelter stays reachable for questions afterwards

Other ways to help

Adoption is not the only door

Foster

Not ready to adopt permanently? Shelters on Petifly run their foster programmes through the same system, so signing up is a form, not a phone call.

Volunteer

Shelters post the shifts they need covered. Sign up, see the schedule, and get reminded before you are due in.

Donate or sponsor

Give once or sponsor a specific animal. Payments run through Stripe and go straight to the organisation.

Run a shelter or a rescue?

Publish your animals, run your application pipeline, coordinate foster and volunteers, and take donations, all from one dashboard, in front of an audience of pet people.
