800,000 pets adopted via PetRescue!

We’ve got the kind of tail-wagging joy that makes your whole body wiggle because 800,000 pets have been marked as adopted on PetRescue’s adoption platform! 

Thank you to the growing PetRescue community, including rescue organisations, pounds, shelters, and vets who use the platform to find homes for literally hundreds of thousands of pets.

A pet is not a pet without a home, and this would not be possible without the hundreds of thousands of pet lovers like you who have helped bring pet adoption into the mainstream since PetRescue launched in 2004. Because of that, so many homeless pets continue to find homes on PetRescue’s free adoption platform.

"He's fitted in perfectly to our family and we honestly feel like we've won the dog-lottery, we could not have dreamed of a better doggo for us!" - Helen

“We rescued Jessie in 2007, and she is now 18 years old. We loved her straight away, and she has brought so much joy to our lives. She is still a dedicated guard at the gate despite her arthritis and is almost totally deaf. 

She has taught us patience and empathy while her confidence increased and she learned to trust us. She has come to work with us almost every day until recently, and she is now happily retired!” -The Hudson's

Since losing our cat Sparky a few months ago, Natasha has brought new energy to our home and made our other cat Suki come out of her shell. 

Christmas Day will be much easier with Natasha around since Sparky has been at our last 18 Christmas', and this will be our first without her.’ - Sophia

“We fell in love with him immediately. Leaving the meet & greet was extremely hard not knowing if the foster family would choose us, especially when Buddy followed us to the car on our way out like "Am I coming too?". Thankfully, we got the call later that evening saying they chose us. Turns out Buddy didn't want to go back inside and kept watching the driveway after we left. We went back and brought him home three days later” -Gabby
