PatasPatas
For shelters and rescues in Ecuador

Find better homes without changing your adoption process.

Publish a pet, and when someone Likes it you receive their Adopter Profile. If the fit looks right, you Like Back and a Match forms. PatasPatas helps you discover good fits; your team still decides each adoption.

Free for verified partner shelters and rescues.

Match

A Match is mutual interest, not an adoption decision. It helps both sides know the next conversation is worth having.

Hi! Is Nala still available? We'd love to meet her.
Yes — let's set up a visit this week.
Public profile

Your profile becomes your public adoption home.

Instead of sending adopters to scattered posts, your shelter gets one trusted page with your mission, photos, policy, links, and every pet currently available.

  • Verified organization identity

    Adopters can see they are contacting a real rescue or shelter.

  • Mission and adoption policy

    Set expectations before someone reaches out.

  • Photo gallery and logo

    Show your team, space, and animals in care.

  • Contact and application links

    Keep using your existing forms, WhatsApp, website, or social pages.

  • Active pets from your shelter

    Adopters can move from your profile directly to pets they can Like.

Verification helps serious adopters trust the network.

Verification is not just a gate. We review each organization, including a veterinary or reference check, before its profile and listings appear publicly. When adopters see verified shelters, they know they are contacting real rescue teams, and your pets stand beside organizations held to the same standard.
