Every registered rescue on Petworking pays $0 subscription on any tier, permanently, with payment processing at the lowest rate in the product. That is policy, not a promotion, and it applies whether or not you ever speak to us.
A founding place buys something we cannot give everyone: the build. Twenty five rescues shape how intake, fostering, adoption and records continuity actually work, because we build those with them rather than for them.
This table is the same for all 4,000 rescues in the country as it is for the twenty five. It is on the page so the offer cannot be mistaken for a price cut.
A rescue is never shown a plan paywall, an upgrade prompt or a trial countdown. While the charities register check is pending you sit on the free plan, which costs nothing either way, so waiting costs you nothing.
How an animal arrives at a rescue is nothing like how a client books a groom. Strays, surrenders, transfers, seizures, TNR and returns each carry different facts and different urgency. We build that with your staff watching, on your cases.
The moment an animal leaves is the moment its record has to survive the handover. Foster to adopter, adopter to vet, and the adopter’s own account. You decide what a new adopter receives on day one.
We move it ourselves, including the history: intake dates, medical records, outcomes, foster placements and the notes staff wrote in whatever system you use now. No import wizard, no CSV template, no fee.
You declare what you take at species level rather than by group, because an exotics vet who sees bearded dragons may not see venomous snakes. Those records get their own fields rather than a dog record with the wrong labels, and no animal becomes Other.
Pets near you that need homes, shown in the Explore tab alongside grooming, veterinary and boarding. Pet-first: the animal is the card, the rescue is the line underneath. Foster Finder works the same way for fosters.
Not a knowledge base. The people writing the rescue product answer you, and a founding rescue’s objection changes the product rather than becoming a ticket.
Strays, surrenders, transfers and returns each carry different facts. The intake flow is built around that, not around a booking.
Recorded against the animal rather than the visit, so it survives the handover to a foster and then to an adopter.
Species is an extensible taxonomy, so sanctuary and wildlife work gets its own fields rather than a dog record with the wrong labels.
Your time, and your honesty. An hour every few weeks while we build the rescue product, and a straight answer when something we built is wrong. That is the whole obligation. There is no contract, no exclusivity, no requirement to promote us, and nothing to renew.
If you stop having time, you keep everything: the account, the records, the $0 fees. A founding place cannot be revoked for going quiet, because the fees were never conditional on it.
A rescue, shelter or sanctuary on a government charities or nonprofit register, checked against the issuing body. Foster-based networks with no premises qualify. Municipal animal services qualify.
Verified as Government verified, which is the badge family the register supports.
25 places left
Registering takes one check and costs nothing. Applying for a founding place is a conversation on top of that, and you can do the first without the second.
Both figures are the real count. Neither is a countdown we invented.
