An Online Community of Caring

Petoodle is the Place Where Animal Welfare Organizations can Connect with Donors - And where Animal Lovers can Donate to a Rescue

Funding for Animal Welfare Organizations

We know animal welfare organizations work hard to help the animals in their care. Many of these animals might live at the organization’s facility for life. Other animals face a longer length of stay than the ones ready and/or able to be adopted. An animal may be unadoptable, injured or sick, needing socialization training from years of abuse, or a myriad of other circumstances.

Petoodle exists to bring funding to animal welfare organizations, specifically for these longer-length-of stay animals. All of them require funds for their unique care, on top of their basic needs. As anyone who owns a pet or has animals knows, it can be costly. By sponsoring an animal through Petoodle, you give that animal a chance to thrive.

Sponsoring Animals in Need

Petoodle’s mission is simple: Improve the lives of animals in need. To make this happen, Petoodle is where non-profit animal welfare organizations can showcase the animals they champion in order to raise awareness and solicit funding.

For animal welfare organizations, our platform is free, and 100% of donations go to animals in need. With this powerful tool, organizations can reach new sponsors and expanded audiences to unlock much-needed resources for thousands of animals in need. If you’re an animal welfare organization, please sign up here.

For sponsors, Petoodle provides a community for animal lovers who are compassionate about taking care of animals who need the most help. We foster this community and give you a chance to find animals in need, donate, and receive updates about those you sponsor. Please sign up here to be part of the Petoodle community.

Together, one person at a time, one donation at a time, we are giving deserving animals an opportunity to thrive.

Be a champion to a pet in need!

The Petoodle Story

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an online community of compassionate animal lovers who want to give all animals the chance to thrive?

How about a place where animal welfare organizations can easily get donations for the animals in their care?

And while we’re at it, let’s have an easy way to share the progress of the animals that need long-term care.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a better way?

That was the idea we hatched when we started Petoodle!

Hi, we’re friends Teri Cataruzolo and Angela Kruck. We have had a lifelong love of animals and caring for their wellbeing. We especially have a heart for those animals with no voice and no choices.

Take our spokesdog, Bailey. Sir Bailey was rescued from a puppy mill. He suffers from chondrodysplasia – his legs don’t have the correct bone and cartilage formation. He was welcomed into Angela's home and became a Twitter sensation! (@SirBailey2)

Sadly, not all animals can be adopted, or need more care before finding their fur-ever home. So, we created a way for animal welfare organizations to find funding for their longer-length-of-stay animals.
