How It Works

It starts with a story — yours.

Join the Beta today, and you'll be one of the first to take part when matching opens in December 2026.

Here's how it works: you tell us about your pet — the way they greet you at the door, the toy they've had since they were a puppy, the quiet moments only the two of you know about. That story becomes the seed of everything else.

Once matching opens in December, gift exchanges begin — you choose the ones you want to be part of. Matching happens automatically, and you'll be notified right away: who you've been matched with, and whose pet you get to celebrate.

Then comes the part that makes Gifted Paw different: you send a real gift, picked with their pet in mind, to arrive at their door — typically in the $20–$30 range. In return, your own pet receives something just as thoughtful, from someone who's never met them but understands exactly why they matter.
