How it works
Find your shelter
We imported DGAV's public list of animal welfare associations and public pages.
Confirm it's yours
Sign in with the shelter's email and a code, and show us a document of the association.
Publish the dogs
Every adoptable dog gets its own page and receives applications.
Who is already on Uau
The first claimed profiles will tell their story here. Yours could be one of them.
Get startedFrequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes, for shelters it's free forever.
How do I set the breed of a mixed-breed dog?
You don't: on Uau, mixed-breed dogs never carry a breed name in the ad (Portuguese Law 95/2017).
Who sees the applications?
Only your shelter's members on Uau.
We don't want to be on Uau. How do we leave?
Use the opt-out link in our email or write to us: we stop contacting you.
Less time on ads, more dogs adopted.
Create the shelter's account and claim the page. Then publish the dogs you have up for adoption.
