- Fresh New Look — We gave the whole app a makeover. New colors, new fonts, new card layouts. She's gorgeous and she knows it. - Filter Chips — Your active filters now show as little pills below the nav bar. Tap the × to remove one. It's like those "remove tag" buttons, except these actually work on the first try. - Smoother Browsing — The nav bar now tucks away when you scroll down so you get more screen for adorable faces. It comes back when you scroll up. It's clingy like that. - Bug Fixes — Breed filters now properly reset when you switch species, because showing you Labrador-shaped cats was not a feature. Also squashed some deep linking and notification gremlins.

A fresh new look for WeRescue. We've redesigned the app from the ground up with a warm coral palette, new typography, and smoother card layouts that make browsing rescue pets feel even better. Also new in this update: - Search by pet name to find a specific rescue - Filter by country to browse pets near you or abroad - Inbox for updates on your adopted pets - Report your adoption and share your story with the community - Improved breed filters that reset properly when you switch species - Better deep link handling so shared pet links open reliably

New look, same mission. We've refreshed WeRescue for our "Rescue the Love of Your Life" campaign — because every shelter pet deserves someone who laughs at their zoomies. Forget dating apps. Open WeRescue and see who's waiting to steal your couch (and your heart) today.

Unsubscribing from our emails? We get it, your inbox is a sacred place. But before you go, we'll ask the important question: "Did you adopt a pet?" If you did, you can now share your happy ending and inspire other humans to get adopted by a furry overlord of their own. Your success story might just convince someone else that yes, they DO need that third cat. Because nothing says "I found my soulmate" quite like unsubscribing from pet alerts.

We’ve been busy polishing things up—and the WeRescue family keeps growing. • Shared links now open exactly where they should (no app scavenger hunts) • Shelter info got a glow-up with clearer icons and better layout • Long shelter names and addresses can finally stretch their legs • Even more shelters have joined WeRescue, bringing more adoptable pets into the mix Same mission. More partners. Fewer gremlins. Even more chances to find your perfect match.

Due to recent changes at Petfinder, some pet listings may be incomplete or outdated. We've added notices on affected profiles so you'll know when data might not be current. We're working directly with shelters to bring fresh pet data into WeRescue. Thanks for your patience!

We taught WeRescue a new trick. Deep-linked pets now show up front and center every time, instead of wandering off like a bored Beagle who spotted a squirrel. Tap a link, get the pet—no more hide-and-seek. A small fix, big improvement, and one step closer to making the app behave like a very good dog.

We chased down a pesky issue with deep links for favorite pets. Everything should now open exactly where it’s supposed to—no more detours. This update keeps your favorites just a tap away and right where you left them. Thanks for using WeRescue and for supporting adoptable pets everywhere.

This August, Clear The Shelters was a huge success—thanks to shelters, rescues, and adopters everywhere who made it possible! We’re excited to keep the momentum going. The WeRescue app is being enhanced to help shelters promote rescue pets year-round, so you can connect with even more pets who need homes.

Looking for “Buddy,” “Bella,” or maybe “Sir Wigglebottom III”? You can now search pets by name -- finally, some dignity for all the dogs named after Harry Potter characters. And since geography matters: you can now filter by country. Sticking to the USA? Great. Feeling international? Canada’s back in the mix. (Just be ready for polite pups who say “eh” at the end of every bark.) Special thanks to app user "Kathleen from California" for inspiring the feature! Update today and rescue smarter, not harder.

We partied with 146,730 pets adopted in August during Clear The Shelters 2025. Now we’re rolling into autumn with ‘Fall In Love with a Rescue Pet.’ Get cozy, get cuddly, get rescuing.

We finally cracked it—you can now tell us which pet you adopted! Help us keep score in the world’s cutest game of matchmaking.

We gave the iPad some extra belly rubs and now it’s behaving much better. Here’s what’s new: - The close button on iPad pet details was playing hard to get. We gave it a talking-to. It works now. - Moved the close and image download buttons in the full screen viewer so your fingers don’t need GPS to find them. - iPad pet listings were refusing to reload after filters were applied. Classic drama. We fixed that. - Changed the close button color to white on iPad so it doesn’t hide like a scared cat under the couch. Update now—your iPad will thank you with more pets to swoon over.

- We fixed that sneaky bug that sometimes made all the pets vanish into thin air. Now when you search you’ll actually see every wagging tail and curious whisker. - Full-screen glory unleashed: we’ve banished every last blank margin so your iPad becomes a pawsome pet gallery.
