“For me, the Petch app is the only true dating app – for animal lovers! This is exactly what animal welfare has been missing. It is incredibly easy and intuitive to use, with a modern, appealing design. I especially love that the app finds the dogs who truly suit you – not just in looks, but in character too. It is wonderfully made and a real asset for anyone who wants to give a four-legged friend a home. 💕”
“Clear, modern and easy to use. I especially like that the focus is on finding the right match between people and animals, with animal welfare at the heart of it. A fantastic idea - absolutely recommended! 🐾❤️”
“We're delighted that this wonderful tool helps all the furry friends who deserve it finally be seen, find lasting placements and find a forever home - THANK YOU, PETCH ❤️🐾”
Features
The easiest way to your perfect match.
Everything you need for a responsible adoption, brought together in one intuitive, clear app.
Verified organisations
Safety comes first. Every shelter and rescue organisation is thoroughly vetted by us — from their official animal-welfare permit and pre- and post-adoption checks to reputable adoption contracts.
Verified adopters
Animal welfare needs trust on both sides. Verified profiles let organisations know right away that genuine, serious adopters are waiting on the other end.
The Petchie Club
Your protected space after adoption. Share milestones, connect with other dog owners near you and grow together as a community.
Adoption companion
A central overview could soon help you keep track of the next steps throughout the adoption journey.
Health planner
Reminders and appointments for everyday life together could soon come together clearly in one place.
How it works
From first sniff to everyday life together.
Petch guides you safely through the entire process and stays by your side as a reliable partner well after the adoption.
