For animal shelters & rescues
New adopters often need a place that welcomes their new pet. PetFriendlyPad helps them find long-term rentals with the full pet policy shown up front, and we want to work with the shelters and rescues that make adoptions happen.
💚 Free, forever
Partnership is always free for nonprofit animal shelters and rescues. No fees, no contracts, no catch.
🐾 Special focus on no-kill shelters
We give no-kill shelters a special focus in our partner program, including featured placement on our city pages as we grow.

Two sizes, both free to print as many times as you like. The PDFs have a front and a back. The PNGs are front-side previews you can share online.
Printing tip: choose "Actual size" (100%) in your print settings. Most office supply stores can print these on card stock.
Before you surrender
Many owner surrenders come down to cost: food, vet bills, pet deposits and pet rent. When someone calls about surrendering a pet, a few resources can sometimes help them keep their pet at home:
- Keep Your Pet: verified pet food pantries, low-cost vet and spay/neuter care, temporary foster and rehoming alternatives, nationally and in our launch cities.
- Rentals with low or no pet fees, and landlords with our 💚 Fee-Friendly Landlord badge who waive or reduce pet fees for adopters and low-income renters.
- A free pet résumé to help families moving with a pet get approved.
Free printable handout for your front desk or surrender intake. The QR code goes to petfriendlypad.com/keep-your-pet.
There's a blank line on the handout to add your own shelter's phone number or local program.
Giving back
As PetFriendlyPad grows, we plan to donate to a local animal shelter for each rental placed through our site. Those donations can support shelter pet food pantries and keep-pets-at-home programs, as well as adoptions, because helping a family keep their pet is just as important as finding a pet a new home. See free and low-cost help for pet owners.
