For Individuals and Families
RescueGroups.org does not provide placement or adoption services directly to the public. We recommend that you contact a local animal rescue or shelter organization in your area if you would like to adopt a pet or give-up your pet, and you can find a local organization by searching one of the following websites: Adopt-a-Pet.com Pets911.com DogTime.com Petbond.com.

For Developers and Webmasters
Application Programming Interface (API) - simple to use, reliable and completely free way to download adoptable pet data for use on your own website. Our API, which has been in use for over three years, is completely free of logos, advertisements or any requirement to show credit to us (we're truly doing this ONLY for the pets). The API documentation is available from the Downloads section of our support website. Contact us to get your own API key.
iFrame - just copy & paste some simple HTML code onto a web page on your website to have a complete adoptable pet search on your website (free of logos, advertisements and outside links!). We will design, customize and host the iFrame for you for free. Contact us for more information.
Development, Integration and Maintenance - we'll develop your website's integration with the RescueGroups.org API and other data services. Our development services are very affordable, and because we have intimate knowledge of the rescue, shelter and adoption community as well as our own adoptable pet data feeds, we can have your website up and running faster than in-house development or other contractors.
