About MatchingPaws

Every paw deserves a home, and every home deserves a paw.

MatchingPaws brings adopters and animal rescues together in one simple place, so more pets leave the shelter for a loving home.

Our story

Built for the people who save animals

Rescues are stretched thin
Rescues do incredible work, often with small teams and smaller budgets. Too much of their time goes to paperwork, emails and chasing payments.
So we put it all in one place
Rescues list their pets, review applications and sign adoption contracts in one place. Adopters find the right match and know exactly what happens next.
More time with the animals
Less admin for rescues means more time with the animals. That's the whole idea.

What we believe

Adopt, don't shop
Every pet on MatchingPaws comes from a rescue or shelter. We only help animals that need a second chance.
Rescues come first
Donations go to the rescue in full. Card and service fees are paid by the donor, never by the rescue.
Simple and honest
Clear steps, clear fees and no surprises, for adopters and rescues alike.
Support after adoption
Adoption is a beginning. We help with vets, insurance and tips for the first weeks at home.
