About

meet the pet who actually fits your life.

pawd. matches you with real adoptable dogs and cats from shelters and rescues near you — based on your lifestyle, not just a breed filter.

HOW IT WORKS

answer a short quiz about your home, your energy, and your schedule. pawd. learns what you're looking for and builds you a feed of pets that genuinely fit. swipe through them. save the ones you love. reach out to the shelter caring for them, right inside the app.

every pet you see is real and currently adoptable, pulled live from rescue organizations and updated regularly. each listing shows the shelter, the location, and how to get in touch.

MEET SCOUT

scout is your adoption guide — ask anything. what's the difference between a high-energy dog and a hyper one? is a senior cat right for a small apartment? what should you ask at a meet-and-greet? scout helps you think it through before you commit to a life.

PAW POINTS

watch a short ad to earn paw points. spend them to boost a pet you love, pushing them higher in other adopters' feeds so more people see them. it's a small thing you can do for an animal you can't take home yourself.

paw points can also be purchased directly if you'd rather skip the ads.

DONATE DIRECTLY — WE NEVER TOUCH IT

found a shelter doing good work? pawd. connects you straight to their own donation page, or to their verified nonprofit on every.org. 100% of what you give goes to them. pawd. never processes, pools, or takes a cut of donation money.
