About Save All The Pets
Giving More Pets A Happy Home
Save All The Pets uses data science to save the lives of dogs and cats. First, we collect data about what traits make pets more likely to be adopted in different locations. Then, we analyze pet profiles and images from across the country, looking at appearance, age, and size. Finally, we move animals to where they’re statistically more likely to be adopted.

Our Story
Where did we come from? How did this all happen?
It started when our founder, Michael Suttles, was doing research on pets to analyze using data science. The more he dug, the more data he discovered online about shelters and euthanasia rates.
Michael started talking to dozens of people in animal rescue — from tiny rescues to municipal shelters, from animal control officers to executives at large national organizations. Had anyone considered using a neural network on the data? He discovered that he could do more for animals with cutting-edge technology. He was shocked that not only were people inside and outside of animal rescue receptive to his ideas, but over and over, the response was the same: “How can I help?”
Things started coming together. Online data just wasn’t good enough, so Michael found a better source. He started tackling the transport aspect and other pieces, working with people in shelters and national organizations to make sure his plans would work.
Save All The Pets came into being. We’re a new organization, but our vision is broad. Why can’t advanced technology and data science help animals all across the United States? Why not the entire world? The answer is: it can, and we’re making it happen.
