Find Your Paws, a platform connecting prospective pet owners with ethical breeders, has announced a new recruitment initiative targeting dedicated cat and dog breeders across the UK.

This campaign aims to expand the platform’s network of responsible breeders, ensuring access to healthy and well-cared-for animals for those seeking to welcome a new pet into their home.

As pet ownership continues to surge across the UK, especially post-pandemic, the demand for ethically bred cats and dogs has reached unprecedented levels. In response, Find Your Paws is committed to promoting animal welfare by linking responsible pet owners with breeders who prioritise health, temperament, and socialisation in their breeding practices. This approach helps address issues that often lead to rehoming, aiming to prevent them before they arise.

“We’re excited to invite passionate cat and dog breeders to join our platform and be part of our mission to promote responsible pet ownership,” said Francesca Rossi, Co-Founder of Find Your Paws. Her colleague, Lauren Smith, added, “By joining our community, breeders will have the opportunity to showcase their commitment to animal welfare and connect with individuals and families who are looking to provide loving homes to pets.”

A Platform for Ethical Breeding

Breeders who sign up with Find Your Paws will gain access to a user-friendly platform that allows them to create detailed profiles showcasing their breeding practices, expertise, and available litters. The platform offers breeders the ability to get verified, receive vet-certified health check recommendations, and seamlessly schedule pet visits with potential owners directly into their calendars.

Find Your Paws also provides a range of resources and educational materials, designed to help both breeders and pet seekers make informed decisions. This includes safeguarding advice, guidance on best practices, and OfQual-approved Pupstarts Breeder Courses, all aimed at supporting ethical breeding and responsible pet ownership.
