How verification works
A verified badge means Zoiko Social has completed its defined verification process — it isn't a guarantee of every future action or outcome.
1
Organization identity
The organization establishes its identity and authorization to represent the rescue or shelter.
2
Operational legitimacy
Zoiko Social checks the organization against defined participation requirements.
3
Jurisdiction & policy
Applicable location and policy requirements are considered where relevant.
4
Review outcome
Approved organizations receive a visible verified status. Rejected or pending statuses are handled privately.
5
Ongoing integrity
Verification may be reviewed again if material information changes or concerns arise.
Adoption safety
Verify the source
Check the verified organization status and view its profile before you start an inquiry.
Keep communication accountable
Use auditable platform channels where available until you're ready for appropriate next steps.
Avoid pressure
Be cautious of rushed transfers, unexpected payment demands, or off- platform pressure that conflicts with this guidance.
Protect personal data
Don't share more personal information than necessary. Private addresses and sensitive details stay protected.
Understand the process
Each rescue or shelter may use its own application, home-check, reference, fee, or meeting process where lawful.
Report concerns
Report a Concern is available from listings, organization profiles, and this safety content.
Report a concern >
Emergency welfare issue
If there is immediate danger to an animal or person, contact your local emergency or animal-welfare authority directly.
