About Us

Our Mission: Every Pet Deserves a Chance

We're building technology to solve one of the most heartbreaking problems in animal welfare: the disconnect between overcrowded shelters and rescue organizations with space to help.

Why We Started OnlyPets

Every year, millions of healthy, loving pets are euthanized in shelters simply because there isn't enough space or resources. Meanwhile, rescue organizations across the country have the capacity and desire to help, but lack an efficient way to connect with shelters in need. OnlyPets bridges this gap with smart technology that saves lives.
