Become a member of PetRescue for free adoption support

PetRescue is a national support network for Australia's rescue groups, shelters, pounds and vets. By harnessing digital technology, social media and key corporate partnerships, we provide free national exposure and adoption support services to help find new homes for thousands of pets every month.

We invest heavily in tools, programs and campaigns to maximise our members’ life-saving capabilities. We do all this for FREE, so you can focus on what's important to you - the day-to-day running of your services.

On average, 244 PetRescue-listed rescue pets are rehomed every day.
That's more than 7,000 pets adopted every month.
One pet adopted every 7 minutes!

Membership Code and Pet Listing Rules

We support the responsible and ethical rescue of companion animals and offer membership exclusively to organisations that agree to abide by our Membership Code and Pet Listing Rules. Please familiarise yourself with these documents prior to submitting a membership application.

Apply for membership to PetRescue

Membership applications take one to two weeks to be approved, after which you can begin listing pets on our site immediately.

Please note, delays in membership approval are usually due to the vet reference not being received. You can speed up this process by chasing your vet to reply to our email.
