SharePaws

SharePaws helps pets in the United States find foster homes and new families. Rescues and shelters post pets that need a foster or a home. Fosters and adopters find pets nearby and message the people caring for them. If you can no longer keep your own pet, you can list it, talk with people who are interested, and choose who it goes to. Find a pet • Your Home feed shows pets near you, with photos and short videos. • Search for a breed, a name or a city, and filter by distance, age, size, and whether a pet is good with kids, dogs or cats. • Shelter pets from rescues across the US show up too, listed through RescueGroups.org. You adopt them on the shelter's own site. • Save the pets you like and come back to them later. List a pet • To rehome your own pet, post it with photos or videos and tell its story. • Verified rescues and shelters post their pets for adoption or foster. • People ask about a pet in a chat. When you've found the right person, you pick them, and everyone else who asked gets a kind note. Posts and following • Follow people and rescues to see their new pets and posts in your feed. • Share photos and videos of your own pets, or tell an adoption story. Verified rescues can also post a rescue need. Messages • Message anyone directly, or send them a pet or a post you found. • Messages from people you don't follow, and haven't talked with before, wait in Requests. You can accept, delete or block. • You get a notification when someone writes to you or comments on your post. Trust and safety • After you've talked about a pet, you and the other person can rate each other. A rating stays hidden until the other person rates too or the time to rate runs out, and a profile shows its average once it has five ratings. • Rescues and shelters can apply to be verified. We review each request by hand, and approved organizations carry a Verified badge. • Everyone agrees to our community rules when they join. They rule out asking for money before meeting, and breeding or selling litters. • To report a pet, post or profile, use its ⋯ menu. To report a message, press and hold it. You can block someone from their profile or your chat with them. We review every report, and we remove content and suspend accounts that break the rules. SharePaws is free and has no ads. You'll need an account, and you can sign in with Apple, Google, email or a phone number.
