WeRescue is the official pet adoption app trusted by the NBCUniversal Local Clear The Shelters campaign since 2018 — a movement that has helped over 1.3 million pets find homes since 2015.
Whether you're searching for a playful puppy, a cuddly kitten, or a calm senior companion, WeRescue offers the most powerful filters of any pet adoption app — so you can match with exactly the kind of pet you're looking for.

• Small and furry pets like guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets
• Horses available for adoption
Key Features:
• Advanced filters for breed, age, size, color, behavior, gender, distance, and 60 more
• Search by mixed breeds, designer breeds, or specific breeds
• High-resolution pet photos to help you fall in love at first sight
• Local results prioritized — see pets in nearby shelters and foster homes first
• Share adoptable pets with friends via SMS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more — they'll see the exact pet you shared, right in the app
Even if you're not ready to adopt, you can help save lives by sharing pets with others. One post can lead to a forever home.

- 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.
