OUR MISSION

Many animals suffer because the people willing to help cannot easily connect with the right community.

community animals.

Every post, feeding log, and care update can make a difference.

Because every voiceless soul deserves to be heard.

### 5/5 — It works like it claim

*2026-07-05*

Recently i came across this app and thought this would be another app which just claims to help the recued animals but this app really works and have features which are practically useful. It not only just create the rescue post but it also creates a rescue group which has the nearest rescuers and NGO’s in it. They directly help in the chat. I was able to save one dog because of this. I also noticed they have a feature Stray Network which is for the Feeders and all so that they can track the community dogs and log their daily feeding very easily there. 

Great initiative 👍🏽 I am really happy that there is something which practically works for the strays animals.
Thank you Instapaw team for making this app. 🙏🏽
