Every pet deserves a safe and loving home. Many pets end up in shelters because their owners can no longer keep them, and many others are found fending for themselves on the streets. Sadly, shelters run out of room, and far too many pets are euthanized every year. Pet Pick's goal is to help change that by helping each pet find a loving home. Pet Pick® makes it fun and easy to search for adoptable pets near you and Pick your Pet! Each pet's profile has photos, details, and the shelter's location and contact information. Search your way • Search by ZIP Code and distance, or by animal shelter. • Filter by species, breed, age, size, and sex. Pet Pick isn't just dogs and cats. You can find horses, pigs, rabbits, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, and more. • Narrow it down with filters like Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, and Vaccinated. • Save your searches to run again any time. Keep your Picks • Tap the heart to save a pet to your Picks, all in one place. • Add notes to any Pick. • Your Picks and notes sync across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud. • Hide pets you're not interested in, and bring them back any time. Help urgent pets • Turn on Urgent only in the search to see only pets who are running out of time. • Urgent pets need a loving home as soon as possible. • Get notified about urgent pets near you, within the distance you choose. • See your Picks and urgent pets on a map. Contact the shelter • Call, email, or visit the shelter's website right from a pet's profile. Pet Pick is free and has no ads, so you can focus on Picking your Pet.
