A structured, transparent process for pet adoption and rehoming — completely free across Canada
Adopting a Pet
Browse Available Pets
Search our database of pets looking for homes. Use filters to find pets by location, type, age, and preferences. No account needed to browse!
View Pet Details
Click on any pet to see photos, detailed description, health information, behavioral traits, and living requirements. Review the details provided by the owner or shelter.
Submit Application
Create a free account and complete an adoption application. Tell the pet owner about yourself, your home, and why you'd be a good fit.
Verification (If Required)
Some pet owners require a third-party background check. If needed, you'll complete a secure verification process (optional, small fee paid directly to verification service).
Review & Selection
The pet owner reviews applications and selects a match for their pet. You'll be notified of the decision.
Meet & Adopt
Arrange a meeting with the pet owner. If it's a good match, complete the adoption and welcome your new family member!
