Finding the right match between a pet and an adopter isn’t always easy. Many people searching for a new companion have specific preferences—like a certain breed, age, or size. Some are looking for playful puppies or kittens, while others want the calm companionship of an older pet. PetBridge makes this connection simpler through Pet Alerts, a feature designed to notify potential adopters the moment a pet matching their interests enters your shelter system.
Pet Alerts allow potential adopters to sign up for instant notifications when a pet that matches their preferences is entered into your shelter management software. Whether they’re looking for a specific breed, a certain size, or a pet that’s good with kids, Pet Alerts make sure adopters hear about the right pets, right away.
Shelters can also share details such as age, sex, house training, or compatibility with other animals. This information helps potential adopters make quicker, more confident decisions about adoption.
Manually tracking adopter requests can be time-consuming for shelter staff and volunteers. PetBridge eliminates that burden by integrating directly with your shelter management software. Once a pet’s information is entered, Pet Alerts instantly connect with adopters who are waiting for just that type of animal. This streamlined process saves staff hours while increasing adoption rates.
PetBridge doesn’t just connect with local adopters. Pet Alerts can reach people nationally, giving your adoptable pets exposure to a much larger pool of potential owners. In addition, PetBridge automatically exports pet listings to over 100 adoption websites, including trusted names like Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet. Shelters only have to input pet information once, and the system takes care of the rest.
Every shelter’s ultimate goal is to find loving homes for animals as quickly as possible. By matching adopters with the pets they’re already searching for, Pet Alerts shorten wait times, reduce shelter overcrowding, and increase adoption success. This means happier adopters, smoother shelter operations, and—most importantly—more pets finding their forever homes.
If your shelter or rescue is looking for an affordable, effective way to connect pets with adopters, PetBridge can help. Our Pet Alerts feature is just one of many tools designed to support shelters, simplify operations, and save more lives.
