Our Mission
Millions of companion animals enter shelters every year.
If even a fraction of people who buy pets chose to adopt instead, the impact on overcrowded shelters could be significant. AdoptMeTV works to help make that shift by changing how people see shelter animals.
Every year, approximately 5.8 million dogs and cats enter animal shelters across the United States.
About 38% to 42% of pet owners acquire their pets from a shelter or rescue.
Another 22% to 43% acquire pets from breeders, pet stores, or other commercial sources.
The founder of AdoptMeTV saw an opportunity to change the way people see shelter animals through photography and visual storytelling.
Engaging photography captures the personality of adoptable companion animals, offering a fresh perspective on who they are. AdoptMeTV gives those images a new outlet, introducing them to people who might never have discovered them otherwise.
Our mission is simple: to introduce adoptable companion animals to new audiences and help more people see them as the companions they could become.
Join the mission.
Changing the way people see shelter pets takes an entire community. Whether you adopt, foster, volunteer, become a host location, or support the AdoptMeTV network, every role creates new opportunities for shelter pets to be seen, discovered, and welcomed into loving homes.
You can’t buy love, but you can adopt it.
