The film

Every animal, seen by the right family

Watch a family find an animal and apply to adopt in the Petifly app, then see the application, your animals, fosters and volunteers in your portal.

The film uses a demo shelter with fictitious animals, adopters, volunteers and donations.

Not just an ad

A listing waits to be found. Petifly connects you with the people who can help.

A website gallery or a social post is a noticeboard: you pin an animal up and hope the right person walks past. Petifly is the app people already open for their own pets, so your animals, your appeals and your alerts reach pet lovers and pet parents where they already are, and both sides can act right there in the app.

What rescues are used to

  • A gallery on a website nobody comes back to
  • Applications scattered across DMs, email and spreadsheets
  • Lost-pet posts that scroll out of sight in a day
  • Donors who give once and are never heard from again

Two sides, one platform: you work in the dashboard, they live in the app, and every animal, application, alert and gift passes between the two.

How adoption works

One adoption, two sides, start to finish in one place.

Adoption on Petifly is a complete process, not a contact form. The animal you list is the animal people find; the application they send is the one on your board; every decision you make reaches them as it happens.

  1. 1Shelter

    You list the animal

    Photos, temperament, fee and microchip in a three-step form. One switch publishes it to the app.

  2. 2Adopter

    They find it in the app

    In Adopt, on their home screen and on your shelter's page, from verified shelters only.

  3. 3Adopter

    They apply in minutes

    About them, their home and their experience, sent from the animal's profile. No email chains.

  4. 4Shelter

    You review on one board

    Every application by stage. Read the answers, move it on, or decline with a reason.

  5. 5Both

    They're told at every step

    Each stage reaches them by email and push. The fee can be paid in the app, straight to you.

  6. 6Both

    The animal goes home

    When you finalise, the animal is marked adopted and appears in the adopter's own pets.

Your side · Animals

List an animal once. It's in the app the moment you say so.

Every animal in your care has a profile in the dashboard: photos, case number, microchip, temperament and where it is in its journey. When it's ready, one switch publishes it to the app, and it stays live as long as it is available.

  • Publish to the appA single switch puts the animal in Adopt. It comes off by itself once it is reserved or adopted.
  • A profile adopters readGood with dogs, cats and children, house- and lead-trained, energy level, special needs, and your own words.
  • Every stage of its stayIntake, evaluation, medical or behaviour hold, available, in foster, pending adoption, adopted.
  • Your fee, or noneSet an adoption fee, or waive it and say why: "senior for seniors" shows on the listing.
  • Case number and microchipEach animal gets its own case number, and its chip is on file for the day it goes home.
  • Your numbers at a glanceIn care, long stays over 60 days, pending applications, in foster, and the average length of stay.

Their side · The app

For adopters, it's as easy as booking a vet.

People browse your animals in the app they already use for their own pets, apply from the animal's profile and follow their application in their account, so nobody has to chase you for news.

  1. 1Browse animals by species, or search by name or breed

  2. 2Read who they are: age, size, temperament and your story

  3. 3Apply in a few minutes, from the animal's profile

  4. 4Follow every application and its status

Your side · Applications

Every application on one board, not in three inboxes.

Applications sent from the app land on a board by stage: new, in progress, approved, closed. Open one and the applicant's answers are laid out side by side, next to the animal they want.

  • New, in progress, approved, closedEleven stages, from submitted through references, meet & greet and home visit to finalised.
  • The answers, laid outHome type, garden and fence, other pets, hours alone, activity level and why they want to adopt.
  • One click to move it onAdvance to the next stage, and the adopter hears about it straight away.
  • Decline kindlyAdd a reason they will see. A fee they already paid goes back to them automatically.

Both sides · Updates and fees

Nobody is left wondering.

Every time you move an application on, the adopter hears about it by email and on their phone, in plain words. When they're approved, they can pay the fee in the app.

  • A message at every stage"Great news, you are approved to adopt Bella!" Reviewed, references, meet & greet, home visit, approved, finalised.
  • The fee, paid in the appBy card, straight to your shelter's own account, and you're told when it's paid. No card set-up? They pay at the shelter.
  • Refunded if it's a noIf you decline an application after the fee was paid, it is refunded automatically.
  • "Charlie is officially yours!"On the day it's final, the adopter is told and the animal appears in their pets in the app.

The record

The animal goes home with its record.

A shelter animal doesn't arrive in its new home as a blank page. When an adoption is finalised, Petifly creates the pet in the adopter's account from your profile, and from that day its health book grows with them and their vet.

  1. 1

    Kept by your shelter

    Name, breed, sex, date of birth, weight, colour, microchip, neuter status, temperament and photos, all on the animal's profile in your dashboard.

  2. 2

    Handed over on adoption day

    When you finalise, the animal appears in the adopter's pets with its profile, microchip and photo, noted "Adopted from shelter". Nothing to re-type.

  3. 3

    Grows with their vet

    Vaccinations, vet visits, medicines, weight and allergies build up in the pet's health book, shared with the clinics, co-owners or sitters they choose.

For the adopter

A pet that arrives with its story

  • The animal is in their pets the day it's adopted, with its microchip and photo
  • One health book for vaccinations, vet visits, medicines and weight
  • Visits at clinics on Petifly appear in it by themselves
  • Shared on their terms, with a vet, a co-owner or a sitter

For your shelter

Everything about the animal, in one place

  • One profile per animal, from intake to adoption
  • Case number, microchip, temperament and status always to hand
  • Adopters who already use Petifly bring an app full of pet care with them
  • Every outcome recorded, so your adoptions add up

Every animal deserves to be seen, and every lost one, found.

One app for the people who adopt, the people who search and the people who stop at the roadside. Your shelter is where they all meet.

Lost, found & missing

When a pet goes missing, the whole neighbourhood knows.

Lost & found on Petifly isn't a post that scrolls away. An owner reports a missing pet, everyone nearby is alerted, and the people who see it can answer with a photo, privately and safely, until it's home. Your shelter is part of it from the first minute.

  1. 1An owner reports a missing petTheir pet, a photo, where it was last seen on a map, and a reward if they want.
  2. 2Everyone nearby is alertedMembers within about 10 km, and verified shelters and clinics in the city, get a push straight away.
  3. 3Neighbours answer"I've seen it", "I have it" or "This is my pet", with a photo, the place and a note.
  4. 4It's a match, then homeThe owner confirms, a private chat opens to arrange the handover, and helpers are thanked when it's reunited.
  • Missing and found pets near you, in one feed

  • Answers with photos, confirmed in one tap

  • A Petifly collar tag, scanned by anyone, no app needed

  • Alerts that reach the right streetNeighbours within about 10 km, and partner shelters and clinics in the same city. Members choose their home area.
  • Private until they choosePhone numbers are shared only if both sides opt in. Otherwise they talk in a private chat.
  • Microchip matchesA found pet reported with a chip number that matches a pet on Petifly alerts its owner directly.
  • QR collar tagsAnyone can scan a lost pet's tag and see how to help. The owner is told each time it's scanned.
  • Your shelter sees it allEvery lost and found report in your city, with photos and area, in your dashboard, so a found animal at your door is matched faster.
  • Stays up until it's solvedReports run for 30 days, with a reminder after a week and the option to extend.

SOS

An animal in trouble reaches the people who can help.

Anyone who finds an injured or abandoned animal can raise an SOS from the app in seconds: what's wrong, a pin where it is, and photos. It goes straight to verified shelters, clinics and rescues nearby, never to a public feed, and lands in your dashboard with directions.

  • Injured
  • Hit by car
  • Stray
  • Trapped
  • Sick
  • Aggressive

Raised from the app

Received in your dashboard

  • Seconds to raise

    One button on the app's home screen: the reason, a pin on the map and up to four photos.

  • Only to people equipped to help

    Verified shelters, clinics and rescues within 15 km or in the same city, never shown in the community feed.

  • Respond on the spot

    See it on the map, get directions, say "I can help" and reply to the person who reported it.

  • Urgent, then closed

    An SOS stays active for 24 hours and can be extended. The reporter closes it with how it ended: rescued, helped, or not found.

Donations & helpers

The help a rescue runs on, from the same app.

Money, homes, hands and a good day out. Ask for each in your dashboard; people answer from the app, where they already are.

Donations

Campaigns people can see filling up.

Run a campaign for winter kennels, a medical fund or a neutering drive, with a goal, a deadline and the progress on show. People give by card in the app in a few taps.

  • A goal, progress bar, donor count and days left on every campaign
  • Gifts by card in the app, anonymous if they prefer
  • "Sponsor Rocky": a gift for one named animal, from its profile
  • An email receipt for every gift, and the money in your own account

Fosters & volunteers

Homes and hands, applied for in the app.

"Not ready to adopt?" Every shelter's page in the app offers two more ways to help. People apply to foster or volunteer in minutes, and you answer from your dashboard.

  • Foster applications with capacity, species and the care they can give: newborns, bottle-feeding, medical, behaviour
  • Volunteer applications with availability and interests: walks, cat care, transport, events, photos
  • Approve, hold or decline, and applicants see your answer in the app
  • Active volunteers and their hours, in one list

Adoption days & events

Adoption days the whole city can find.

Publish an adoption day, a charity walk or a fundraiser, and it appears in the app's Events, near the people who'd come, with RSVPs, tickets if you want them and a QR check-in at the door.

  • Listed in Events and found by people nearby
  • Going and interested counts, free registration or paid tickets
  • Updates to everyone going, and partners credited on the page
  • Switched on for your shelter by the Petifly team, just ask
Everything events can do

Built for Cyprus. Your campaigns, your animals and your adoption days reach pet lovers in your own city first, from Nicosia to Paphos. That's how one platform helps the whole local community.
