Become a rescuer

How to join

You choose how you will use PawRescue when you create your account. Rescuers and shelters are approved before they can take cases, so the animals and the people who report them are in safe hands.

What a rescuer does

• Sets their availability and sees open cases near them.
• Accepts a case and keeps its status up to date.
• Talks to the reporter and the shelter in the case chat.
• Hands a rescued animal to a shelter, or lists it for adoption.

Teams and shelters

Rescuers can form teams. A team has a leader, and members work cases together. Shelters have their own workspace for animals, requests and staff. Shelters and teams can ask rescuers to join them; you accept or decline in the app.
