Selecting the service that's right for your organization
Our technology services are designed to work together as well as to stand on their own. Our most popular service since we started, the Pet Adoption Portal, is completely free. If you're new to RescueGroups.org and don't know where to start, this is where you start. It costs you nothing and saves you time and effort, and increases your adoption rate at the same time.
We've developed the table below to help you choose from our four most popular animal adoption services. Each of these services supports your efforts to adopt out your rescued animals. You can view the video or presentation, or go to our website to get more details about these and other services.
Our services:
- Pet Adoption Portal: Your volunteers enter your adoptable animals into your account, and we send those descriptions and photos to hundreds of online adoption sites for you. Enter once, promote hundreds of times!
- Data Management: This service is exactly what the name says, you can manage all the information about your animals in one place, no spreadsheets, no notebooks, everything is online and accessible. In addition, you also get all the features of the Pet Adoption Portal.
- Website Service: Consider getting a website with a set of animal welfare-friendly website templates, plus all the features of the Pet Adoption Portal and the Data Management Service, with the ability to customize quickly and easily without a degree in HTML.
