Question 1

How does pet adoption work on Paws?

Accepted Answer

Any pet owner can mark their pet's profile as available for adoption, with an optional adoption fee and notes. It appears in the community feed, where anyone nearby can view the profile and message the owner directly to arrange next steps.

Question 2

Is listing a pet for adoption free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — marking a pet for adoption and messaging about it is free for every Paws user.

Question 3

Can I see a pet's health history before adopting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every pet profile on Paws can include vaccination and health records, so you can see a pet's history before deciding.

Question 4

Is adoption connected to lost & found?

Accepted Answer

Both live in the same community feed and use the same trusted, in-app messaging — so the experience is familiar whether you're reuniting with a lost pet or meeting your next one.
