Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
mode string Yes search What to fetch: a pet search, specific animals by ID, or rescue organizations.
apiKey string No – Optional free public RescueGroups.org API key. Leave empty to use the cookieless public pet-search pages. A key adds API-only fields (adoption fee, energy level, exact birth date, and more) and organization name search.
species string No Dog Species filter (mode=search). Pick (any species) to search every species.
breed string No – Breed name filter (mode=search), e.g. `Labrador Retriever`. The cookieless source matches any breed in the animal's breed string (primary or secondary); with an optional API key the primary breed is matched exactly.
sex string No – Sex filter (mode=search).
ageGroup string No – General age filter (mode=search).
sizeGroup string No – Size filter (mode=search).
specialNeedsOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as having special needs.
goodWithDogsOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as good with dogs.
goodWithCatsOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as good with cats.
Show the other 11 settings
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
goodWithKidsOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as good with kids.
needsFosterOnly boolean No false Only animals currently looking for a foster home.
housetrainedOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as house-trained.
declawedOnly boolean No false Only animals flagged as declawed.
postalCode string No – Center point for a radius search (mode=search). Leave empty to search everywhere.
radiusMiles integer No 50 Search radius around the postal code (mode=search). The source supports 25, 50, 100 and 200 miles; requests under 25 use 25, values between buckets round down, and requests above 200 use 200.
includeDetails boolean No true Open each animal's public detail page for shelter contact, description, photos and temperament flags. Turn off for a faster, lighter listing-only run. The optional API path always returns full details.
animalIds array No [] RescueGroups animal IDs or animal page URLs, e.g. `22514067`.
organizationIds array No [] RescueGroups organization IDs, e.g. `6260` (the number in a pet photo URL).
orgQuery string No – Optional organization name filter. Name search needs the optional `apiKey`; a numeric ID or organization-page URL works without one (legacy `orgQuery` inputs are supported).
maxItems integer No 50 Hard cap on emitted records.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "search",
    "species": "Dog",
    "specialNeedsOnly": False,
    "goodWithDogsOnly": False,
    "goodWithCatsOnly": False,
    "goodWithKidsOnly": False,
    "needsFosterOnly": False,

    "radiusMiles": 25,
    "includeDetails": True,
    "animalIds": [],
    "organizationIds": [],
    "maxItems": 3
}

run = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/rescuegroups-org-adoptable-pet-finder-by-zip").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "search",
    "species": "Dog",
    "specialNeedsOnly": false,
    "goodWithDogsOnly": false,
    "goodWithCatsOnly": false,

    "radiusMiles": 25,
    "includeDetails": true,
    "animalIds": [],
    "organizationIds": [],
    "maxItems": 3
};

const run = await client.actor("vexaloom-labs/rescuegroups-org-adoptable-pet-finder-by-zip").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vexaloom-labs~rescuegroups-org-adoptable-pet-finder-by-zip/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"search","species":"Dog","specialNeedsOnly":false,"goodWithDogsOnly":false,"goodWithCatsOnly":false,"goodWithKidsOnly":false,"needsFosterOnly":false,"housetrainedOnly":false,"declawedOnly":false,"postalCode":"02108","radiusMiles":25,"includeDetails":true,"animalIds":[],"organizationIds":[],"maxItems":3}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vexaloom-labs/rescuegroups-org-adoptable-pet-finder-by-zip",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
