In active development
Connecting future pet parents with ethical rescues.
Forever Home is a modern web app currently being built to help people find adoptable pets near them, while supporting verified shelters and rescue organizations.
Adoption-first
We focus on rescues, shelters, and verified adoption partners — not private sales.
Location-based search
Search adoptable pets by zip code and species. More filters coming next.
Built for trust
Transparent sourcing, clear org details, and anti-fraud design principles.
Note: RescueGroups API calls are server-only. The client app talks to our internal API only.
Ethical standards
Forever Home does not support breeders, puppy mills, or private listings. Our goal is to spotlight adoptable pets from verified organizations and reduce harm caused by unethical marketplaces.
- • Verified rescue partners and transparent sourcing
- • No “for sale” listings or breeding promotion
- • Safety + anti-fraud design baked in
