Adopting a new pet can be a major milestone for people. Sometimes, it’s a sign that a person has finally gotten into a new home where adding a pet to their family is possible. Other times it’s may mean that another pet has passed on, and they’re finally ready to expand their family again. Now, there’s a service helping people manage all of the things they could possibly need during this exciting time, no matter what your reason for adopting may be.
Similar to how wedding and baby registries work, Fresh Starts is a registry that allows you to sign up for all of the things you could possibly need to begin this next chapter of your life with your new four-legged friend.
Fresh Starts Registry offers new pet parents—and pet parents to be—the ability to create a wish list of all the items they’ll need. The website explains that embarking on pet parenthood (pun intended) is a fresh start that deserves to be celebrated.

The website offers instructions on why you should use the registry tool, including perks like being able to prepare and get organized, allowing you to make specific requests that are as unique as your new pet, and giving your nearest and dearest a chance to shower you and your new furry bundle of joy with the love you both deserve.
Not only that, but there are some suggested basics listed for you to consider before you get started, which should help with that initial overwhelm that comes when creating a shopping list for your new pet.
Then, once you’re ready to start, the website will prompt you to begin your registry and help walk you through the next steps of putting it together and sharing it with your circle. In the end you’ll have an easy and accessible registry that will help you and your new pet start your lives off together on the right paw.
