Saving lives by giving councils, vets and shelters the tools to rehome pets directly.
Getting more councils on board using PetRescue's free adoption platform as a rehoming pathway is crucial in keeping pets safe. Without this opportunity, pets within council facilities are possibly invisible and might never get a second chance. Digital rehoming via PetRescue’s adoption platform gives councils and shelters access to a much bigger community of adopters (including the possibility of interstate adoptions) while reducing the burden on rescue groups at capacity.
PetRescue’s Safe and Sound Pets community includes council facilities across the country who are giving homeless pets the best chance to find love through PetRescue's adoption platform.
Over 5,628 pets were marked as adopted by 29 councils on the PetRescue platform in 2023 (with an average time to adoption of just 12 days!). But there’s more work to do. Thanks to your support, we’ll continue to work one-on-one with the community and councils to change the future for pets.
Collaboration for Impact
Through PetRescue's Safe and Sound Pets program, together, we’re working towards preventing 100,000* pets from being killed each year by working collaboratively with each council. Facility by facility, and person by person, we are helping them to meet their specific needs, identifying barriers that are preventing progress, helping to remove or bypass them, and finding homes for pets in their care.
