A Better Way to Rehome and Adopt
We’re not a shelter — we’re a family-run, community-backed platform that puts pets and people first. Our goal is to make pet rehoming and adoption easier, kinder, and stress-free for everyone involved.
- No shelters, no stress – Pets stay in familiar environments until rehomed.
- Community-powered – Run by real people who care, supported by everyday Kiwis.
- Flexible & compassionate – Rehome or adopt on your terms, with full transparency.
Rehome on Your Terms
No shelters, no pressure. Pets stay safe and comfortable in their own homes while you choose the right adopter.

Our family-run site is simple to use, with free and premium listings to suit your needs — no hidden fees, no red tape.
Pets Before Profit
We’re not government-funded or corporate-backed. We're powered by everyday New Zealanders who care deeply about animals.
