How PetMatch Works

Finding your perfect pet shouldn’t be complicated.
We’ve designed a simple, guided process that connects
you with animals that truly fit your lifestyle.

Tell Us About You

It all starts with a short but detailed questionnaire. We learn about your home, daily routine, preferences, experience with pets, and what you’re looking for in a companion. The more we understand you, the better we can match you.

Choose Your Plan

Once you have completed the questionnaire, select the level of support that works best for you. We offer three plans– Silver, Gold and Platinum Match to give you the exact guidance and support you are looking for. For more information on the plans, please refer to the “Memberships” page.

We Find Your Matches

We work directly with trusted Connecticut shelters and pet organizations to identify pets that align with your lifestyle. Every match is intentional– focused on compatibility, not just availability.

Meet Your Match

Once potential matches are found, we coordinate the introduction so you can meet your future lifelong companion. From there, we support you through the next steps of the adoption process.

Go Home Together

Our goal is simple: a smooth transition into a lasting relationship between you and your pet. At PetMatch– we take care of the searching, so you can focus on the connection.

Creating a World Where Every Paw Finds A Loving Home

Personalized Matching

We go beyond looks and availability. Every match is based on your lifestyle, home, and preferences for a connection that truly lasts.

Trusted Local Partners

We work directly with shelters and pet organizations across Connecticut to find animals that align with your needs.

At PetMatch, we believe that finding a pet shouldn’t
feel overwhelming — it should feel exciting, meaningful,
and well-suited to your lifestyle. We work directly with
trusted shelters and pet organizations across Connecticut
to create thoughtful matches that last a lifetime.

From Shelter to Forever Home Our Success Stories

"I had always dreamed of having a furry friend to share my life with, and that dream came true when I adopted Max from Pet Match. Max, a gentle and loving Labrador mix, stole my heart the moment I saw him. His wagging tail and hopeful eyes told a story of resilience and unwavering trust. Since that day, Max has been my faithful companion, bringing boundless joy and love into my life."

A Tale of Unconditional Love

"Two years ago, I adopted Luna, a shy and timid rescue cat, from Pet Match. Luna had experienced a difficult past, but her sweet disposition captured my heart. Over time, Luna has blossomed into a confident and affectionate companion. Her purrs and playful antics fill my home with warmth and laughter. Adopting Luna has taught me the profound impact of second chances."

The Power of Second Chances

"When I first met Bella, she was a trembling ball of fur in the corner of her kennel at Pet Match. It was evident that she had experienced hardship, but her vulnerability touched my soul. Adopting Bella was the best decision I ever made. Watching her transform from a fearful pup into a confident and loving family member has been a remarkable journey. "

From Fear to Family

Are You Ready to Adopt?

Bringing a pet home is one of the most rewarding decisions you’ll ever make. At PetMatch, we’ve designed a simple, guided process to make sure you and your new companion are set up for a lifetime of happiness.

Your Lifestyle Fit

Consider your daily schedule, activity level, and living situation. The right pet should complement your life, not complicate it.

Family & Household Readiness

Make sure everyone in your home is on board — including children and existing pets — to ensure a smooth and welcoming transition.

Long-Term Commitment

Pets live for years, sometimes decades. Make sure you're ready for the full journey — not just the excitement of bringing them home.

Emotional Readiness

Adopting a pet, especially one from a shelter, requires patience and compassion. Be prepared to give them time to adjust and feel safe.
