Can we use it for every animal we look after?
FreeAnimal rescue and shelter app: free for shelters and charities
PawsPet is the free app for dog and cat shelters and animal charities: one record per animal, volunteers and foster families as collaborators with targeted permissions, free adoption listings from the record. No subscription. You can publish right away as a private individual; in your organisation's name you need a business profile, made with «Become a merchant» in PawsPet Business or on a computer.

What you do with PawsPet
Four things a shelter does every day, all from the animal's record: on the phone or on the computer, with the same account.
One record per animal, even with hundreds
In the Pets list you search by name, species, breed, colour, location (pen, colony, foster home) or by who looks after the animal. Switch from list to photo grid, jump to a letter with the side index, and find deceased animals grouped at the end.
Pet profileVolunteers and foster carers with the right permissions
Invite anyone with a PawsPet account as a collaborator on one animal and choose what they see or edit: General, Health, Activities and, if needed, Documents. When a shift or placement ends, remove them. Publishing and deleting stay with the organisation.
Shared family careAdoptions that start from the record
From the animal's menu tap «Offer for adoption»: title, health declaration, draft or publish. The listing is free, people browse it on the PawsPet website or through the link you share, and the health history follows the animal to its new family.
Adoption listingsListings in your organisation's name
With a business profile («Become a merchant», in PawsPet Business or on a computer) you pick «Publishing as» and the listing goes out in your name. Without a dossier it shows as «Association»; a contribution needs a verified profile and active payments.
Post adoption listings
One shelter, many hands
One record per animal, the right people on each one and the care that comes back: this is how a shelter or an association works in PawsPet.
One record per animal
In the «Position» field you write the kennel, the colony or the foster family. In the «Pets» list you search for it and see only those guests, even with hundreds of records.
Volunteers with the permissions you choose
You invite anyone with a PawsPet account as a collaborator on one animal and choose, area by area, what they see and what they edit: Health, Activities and, only if you open them, Documents. Publishing and deleting stay with the shelter.
Care that comes back
Kennel cleaning and walks become repeating activities and, if you choose, therapies too: each time there is a circle to tick, and whoever is on shift ticks it from the record. A notification arrives only if you choose an alert.
Adoptions
Adoptions: from the record to the listing
An adoption listing is free and starts from the animal's record: you can publish right away as a private individual or, with a business profile, in the shelter's name. What you need, how requests arrive and how the handover works: it is all on one page.
For every kind of organisation
Dog shelters, cat shelters, foster care, sanctuaries and wildlife rescue centres: the same app, told from the side of those who use it every day.
Post adoption listings
List animals for adoption, free of charge, in your organisation's name too.
Dog shelters
One record per dog, volunteers with the right permissions, free adoptions.
Cat shelters and rescues
Fast records, colonies in the Position field, kitten weights and adoptions.
Foster care
The rescue keeps the record, the foster family keeps it up to date.
Multi-species sanctuaries
Horses, donkeys and farm animals: stalls, hoof care and recurring treatments.
Wildlife rescue centres
One profile per animal in care: custom species, weight, therapies and notes.
Questions from shelters and associations
- Yes. There is no subscription: records, collaborators and adoption listings cost nothing. You only pay when money goes through the app: if your organisation books and pays for a service in the app, a €1 service fee is added (1% above €100); if it receives payments through the app, PawsPet keeps a share of them.
- Each volunteer has their own PawsPet account and you invite them as a collaborator on the individual animals they look after. Permissions come in View/Edit pairs for Health, Activities, profile details and collaborators; there are no preset roles, and access stays until you remove it.
- Documents only if you allow it: by default a new collaborator starts with «View» on Health only, and you can also open «Documents» to them. Deleting an animal and publishing listings stay with the record's owner. The read-only link never shows documents.
- Anyone visiting the adoptions section of the PawsPet website and anyone you send the listing link to. Requests live in the app: from «My animal listings» open the listing, then «Requests received». Each request is a message with no name or contact details: read it, open the chat to know more and accept one; the interview and the decision stay with you.
- A record in PawsPet with a 15-digit microchip, an age of at least 60 days, the health declaration and the truthfulness check; one active listing per animal, and a connection. You can publish as a private individual or, with a business profile, in your organisation's name.
