How to help

There are several easy ways how to support the dogs on RescueMates.com

Make a donation


Browse the dogs’ profiles on our website, choose one you’d like to support, and select either a specific need or general sponsorship. You can also set up a recurring payment to support a particular dog regularly, until they are rehomed or leave the shelter for another reason. You may cancel your subscription at any time


Adopt a dog


Browse the dogs’ profiles on our website, choose a dog you'd like to adopt, register your interest, and then get in touch with the shelter team to discuss the opportunity. Shelters usually set their own adoption fees, along with any additional costs — especially in cases of international adoption (e.g. transport, customs charges, taxes, etc.)
We don’t add any extra charges. If a dog has a positive balance, we apply it towards the adoption fee, so you’ll pay less


Share dogs’ profiles


This is the simplest way to support the dogs and boost their chances of being adopted. Browse the profiles, pick a dog, and click the Share button at the bottom of the page. Let your audience know how they can help
