Meet Adopt-Me: The 'Tinder' Revolutionizing Pet Adoption!

Every year, Israel faces the heartbreaking reality of thousands of cats and dogs being abandoned, especially during crises like the Iron Swords War. Overcrowded shelters and overwhelmed organizations struggle to provide for these animals, leaving them in desperate need of loving homes. Adopt-Me, the innovative “Tinder” for pet adoption, is stepping up as a transformative solution.

The Vision: A “Forever Match”

Adopt-Me is not just another adoption app; it’s a movement. Developed by a passionate volunteer team, this tech initiative employs a smart matching algorithm to ensure each adopter finds their “forever match.” According to The Jerusalem Post, this groundbreaking app has already helped countless animals find loving families during its pilot phase.

How Adopt-Me Works

Much like Tinder, Adopt-Me intuits the needs of its users. Potential adopters simply fill in their living situations and preferences, swiping right on pet profiles they connect with. This efficient and intuitive process culminates in a “date” with the chosen pet. The app fosters seamless communication between the adopter and the respective shelter, aiming for optimal compatibility and a long-term home for each animal.

Behind Adopt-Me: Tech with a Heart

This exceptional initiative is backed by 50 dedicated volunteers from the tech sector. The team combines their technological prowess with a community-first spirit to challenge and change the adoption landscape in Israel. “Our vision is to change the adoption culture,” shares Ela Saig, co-founder of Adopt-Me. She passionately talks about their goal to foster meaningful, lifelong connections between humans and their furry friends.

Supporting Every Step of the Way

The mission of Adopt-Me extends beyond the initial adoption process. With ongoing support for adoptive families, the app ensures that all needs are met in the journey of pet parenting. By uniting shelters and rescue organizations, Adopt-Me creates an inclusive space where every animal, even from lesser-known shelters, has a chance at finding a home.

Turning a Dream into Reality: Crowdfunding for the Future

In February 2025, Adopt-Me plans to launch its first crowdfunding campaign, aiming to raise NIS 250,000 to further develop its app and save more animals. With support from personalities like actor Edan Alterman, the funds will enhance the adoption experience through improved tools and post-adoption support.
