Who we are & What we do
Adopt a Pet is a free pet adoption site. On our site, shelters, rescues, and rehomers can easily list their available pets. And hopeful pet parents can quickly search for the right pet with helpful features like filters, New Pet Alerts, and more.
But we’re more than just a search engine. We’re your total pet adoption ally—here to guide you through every step with tools, transparency, trusted advice, and programs designed to share resources, discounts, and support.
Why we do it
As part of the Mars Petcare family, we’re dedicated to building A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS™. And what better place to start than finding homes for millions of pets in need?
Our mission is to bring people and pets together by improving the adoption process for everyone involved—from overworked shelter volunteers to first-time pet parents to senior pups just looking for someone to snuggle!
Because pet adoption isn’t always a walk in the park. And if we can make it (a lot) easier—more pets can find their people.
