A large part of my life is spent helping with an animal rescue charity, it’s pretty rewarding at times but there’s a lot of hard work involved. A big part of running an animal rescue these days is having a website with up-to-date information on your rescue and the animals you have. Most rescues don’t have a techie who has the time to do this, however using WordPress and one of these themes it’s really easy.

I have been through and hand selected my top 5 best WordPress themes for animal shelters and pet rescues. The first 2 on the list all have support for Petfinder.com.

I personally use the ‘Rescue’ theme for WordPress, it grabs all the animals posted to Petfinder a couple of times a day and puts them on the website. I also use a WordPress plugin called ‘NextScripts Social Media Auto-Poster’ (SNAP); whenever a new pet (or new blog post) is added to the website ‘SNAP’ sends it out to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr and more. It’s a really cool plugin, a bit of a pain to set up, but definitely worth it.

Here’s a link to Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue, the site I made using Rescue theme for WordPress.
