How It Works

At Adoptable, we make pet adoption simple, transparent, and stress-free. Whether you’re looking to welcome a new pet into your home or a shelter hoping to find loving families for your animals, here’s how the process works.

1. Browse pets across Europe

Search cats and dogs from trusted shelters, all in one place. Use filters for location, size, age, or temperament to find your perfect match.

2. Create your profile once

No need to fill out endless forms — build your adoption profile once, and apply to multiple shelters with a single click.

3. Apply and connect

Submit your application directly through Adoptable. Shelters review it and contact you for next steps like meet-and-greets or home checks.

4. Welcome your new family member

When approved, finalize the adoption with the shelter. Adoptable stays with you, offering tips, resources, and a growing community.

1. List pets for free

Sign up and easily upload cats and dogs in need of homes. All listings are free, forever — no hidden costs.

2. Reach more adopters

Your animals appear in one central platform where adopters actively search, helping them get seen and adopted faster.

3. Manage applications easily

Receive and review applications in one dashboard. Every applicant already has a verified profile, saving your team time.

4. Focus on what matters most

Spend less time chasing paperwork and more time caring for your animals. Adoptable streamlines the admin so you can focus on adoptions.
