Contribute to PetRescue’s State of Pet Adoption report and take the survey today!

The PetRescue 2026 State of Pet Adoption Survey is now open!

The survey is more focused this year, centred on understanding how the pressures of the last 12 months have affected you personally, your organisation, and the sector as a whole. Combined with results from previous surveys, your responses will form a report that speaks directly to the challenges, barriers and impacts identified by the people working on the ground every day.

Whether you're a volunteer, foster carer, manager or founder, every perspective matters, and so does the perspective of every person you know who works in this sector, paid or unpaid.

Don't delay in adding your story to the picture, complete the survey today!

And dont forget to share with your colleagues. The sector's story is best told by as many of its people as possible.
