About LocalPetFinder

Looking for a rescue animal usually means checking a dozen rescue websites, each with its own layout and filters. LocalPetFinder brings those listings together, so you can see the dogs, cats and rabbits looking for homes near you in one place.

We are not a rescue, and we don't rehome animals ourselves. Every listing links straight to the rescue or rehoming centre that cares for the animal, and you apply to adopt with them. They know the animal best, and they run their own application, home check and adoption fee.

Postcode search

When you search by postcode, we match its first part (the postcode district, such as LS6 or M20) to the nearest town or city we cover. The lookup happens in your browser, so your postcode is never sent to us. The postcode districts come from Ordnance Survey's Code-Point Open, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Northern Ireland postcode districts (BT) come from the ONS Postcode Directory, read through postcodes.io.
