Shelter & Rescue Onboarding

Help Your Dogs Get Seen

Great dogs are easy to miss when they’re one listing among thousands. Every Dog's Chance exists to change that — by connecting adoptable dogs directly with the people who are already looking for them. When your organization is listed, your dogs appear in breed and state searches, email alerts, and features that reach a community of dog adopters.

Listing is always free. Older dogs — around age 7 and up — are featured on our sister site, Lily’s Second Chance, so every dog in your care lands in front of the right adopters.

Who This Is For

• Shelters and municipal animal services with adoptable dogs in their care
• Rescue organizations of every size and specialty
• Foster-based rescues without a permanent facility
• Breed-specific rescues
• Partners who want to expand visibility for adoptable dogs in their network

What We’ll Cover

In your free 30-minute call we’ll walk through:

• How your listings are sourced and kept up to date (automatic + manual options)
• Photo and description best practices that lead to faster adoptions
• Email alert coverage — how adopters in your area get notified
• How dogs from your org get featured and shared
• Any questions about the process, timeline, or how we keep data accurate

Before the Call

No preparation is required — just come with your questions. It helps to have a sense of:

• Roughly how many adoptable dogs you have available at a time
• Where your current adoption listings live (website, Petfinder, RescueGroups, etc.)
• Whether your organization is already listed on Every Dog's Chance
