Furco is an all-in-one solution for empowering and enriching your pet's life. Our AI-driven app provides personalized breed recommendations based on your lifestyle, connects you with local community events and resources, and offers crucial support when rehoming is necessary. More than just an app, it’s a tool for making a meaningful difference -- helping to reduce euthanasia rates by responsible rehoming.

Every year, millions of dogs are surrendered to shelters for various reasons, including unexpected life events and financial restraints. In the United States alone, over 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters each year, with a considerable percentage requiring rehoming. The emotional toll on both the pet and the owner is significant, emphasizing the need for a compassionate rehoming solution. Modern pet care, on the other hand, has grown in complexity, with owners looking for more individualized and specialized care options. According to a 2022 survey, 65% of pet owners want more individualized guidance and services based on their pet's breed, age, and health status.

Furco tackles these issues by providing personalized adoption matches that enhance compatibility between pets and their new owners. It also offers a variety of events and community support to help new pet owners navigate the responsibilities of pet care. For those adopting for the first time, Furco delivers customized guidance, making the experience smoother and more informed. Additionally, Furco offers resources for rehoming pets when needed, helping to prevent homelessness and prevent unnecessary euthanasia.

Furco provides a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that simplifies pet care management, makes personalized recommendations, and assists pet owners at every step of their pets' life journeys, including rehoming if necessary.

Meet Furco, a platform where technology meets compassion for happier, healthier pets.
