How It Works
Send Us Your Link
Send the link to your adoptable-pets page with a few quick details. It takes a couple of minutes.
We Set You Up
We review your details and add your adoptable pets, usually within a few days. We email you when you are live.
Adopters Find You
Your pets appear alongside other local rescues, found by adopters searching Google for adoptable dogs and cats.
Why List With LocalPetFinder?
Show Up on Google
Small rescue websites almost never rank for searches like “adopt a dog near me.” We do. Your adoptable pets surface in Google where adopters are already searching, with no SEO know-how needed on your end.
Compete With the Big Shelters
Most adopters never discover small rescues — they search, land on the few names they already know, and never see your dogs. On LocalPetFinder your animals appear in the same results as the largest shelters. A three-dog foster network gets the same visibility as a shelter with 200 kennels.
Zero Extra Work
If you have a website, we pull your listings and keep them in sync automatically. When a pet gets adopted on your site, it comes down on ours. No second system to update, nothing new to learn.
A Page You Can Share
Every rescue we feature gets its own polished page with your dogs, your story, and a link back to your site. Share it on Facebook, hand it out at adoption events, or link it from your bio. It updates itself as your listings change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it free for shelters to list?
Yes. LocalPetFinder is always 100% free for local rescues and shelters. No listing fees, no commissions, no hidden costs. We exist to help local rescue pets find homes.
Do I need a website?
You need an online page that lists your adoptable pets, usually your shelter's own adopt page. Send us that link and we feature your animals automatically, with no account to set up. Not sure if your page will work? Email contact@localpetfinder.ca and we'll take a look.
How do you display my listings?
With your permission, we display your adoptable pets alongside other local rescues, always with a link back to your website. You can ask us to remove your listings at any time.
What if you are not in my city yet?
Send your details anyway. If we have not launched in your city, we add you to the waitlist and reach out the moment we do.
