Our free Pet Alert tool is designed to help you find your new best friend by automatically emailing you when a pet matching your desired criteria is available. It’s that easy! You can sign up for as many searches as you’d like and cancel at any time.

Our pets are available for adoption on a first-come, first-served basis. The Pet Alert tool automatically emails you when a matched pet is available, but does not reserve that pet for you.
