Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Adopt a Rescue at 4.3 against Pets Adoption's 2.0. Adopt a Rescue also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pets Adoption's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
