About PawNav
For the person. For the animal.
67 percent of American households own a pet. The system that's supposed to serve them — shelters, vets, rescue organizations — is built entirely for the organizations. Not for the people.
PawNav is on the side of the person. And the animal. We help people find the right pet, understand care honestly, get triage guidance when their pet is sick, understand vet bills, find financial assistance, and support foster families — with the goal of keeping animals in homes and out of shelters.
PawNav was built by Todd Tebo to make shelter adoption feel less like searching a database and more like finding a friend.
After twenty years watching families bounce between shelter sites, outdated listings, and dead-end links, the goal became simple: one map, one honest source of truth, one click to the shelter.
Based in New Albany, Indiana. Built for every shelter worth partnering with.
