At Pets4Homes, the safety and welfare of pets is always our top priority. With this in mind, we have made the adoption category exclusive to official rescue centres and charity organisations. This means you now have a dedicated space to help find kind and loving homes for pets in need!
What has changed?
We are now conducting manual checks on all rescue accounts advertising on Pets4Homes. Only approved rescue centres will be permitted to advertise in the adoption category, meaning that individuals and breeders may no longer rehome pets in this section. While we understand this may be a change for some, we believe it’s an important step to ensure that adopted pets are rehomed safely. We are also happy to share that the adoption category will remain free for UK rescues! You may still purchase boosts for your listings, if desired.
How do I get approved?
If you are a UK-based registered charity or rescue organisation, we kindly ask that you take a moment to update your account details and ensure that they are accurate. Please send us your official registration number and a link to your page on the UK register of charities so that we may verify your details.
If you've already provided this information, there's no need to send it again!
What if I'm not registered with the government?
We take the concerns of non-registered rescues and smaller organisations seriously, and have the utmost appreciation for the work that genuine rescue groups are doing.
Please contact us using this form and attach all relevant documentation for your rescue.
Where do I send my organisation's information?
Please contact us using this form and attach all relevant documentation for your rescue.
What about volunteers or fosters?
Each rescue centre may have one official Pets4Homes account linked to your organisation’s official email. Volunteers or fosters using a personal email should switch their account type to "Individual" and list their pets in the For Sale section. This measure helps ensure that the adoption category remains secure and protected from bad actors.
What if I am not a rescue centre or charity?
As a non-rescue user, we ask that you please change your account type to "Individual" or "Breeder" as relevant if this is not already done.
If you have already made listings in the adoption category, we ask that you please re-list these in the "For Sale" section and close any in the adoption category
Moving forward, please be sure to only advertise in the "For Sale" section.
