Application Form

To submit your pet, fill out the form below with your parent/guardian.

HEADS UP!

To become a Rescue Legend, you need to fill out the whole form and upload both a photo of your pet and a hand-drawn drawing. We can’t consider incomplete applications, so double check before you hit submit!

Anyone is welcome to apply by sharing their rescue pet’s story. Families, individuals, and caregivers may submit an application. Rescue Legends is designed for children ages 6–12, so stories and game content are created with young audiences in mind.


Please review our FAQ's below to be sure your animal qualifies.

Step 1: Tell us about your Rescue Pet

Examples:

  • My beagle is a galaxy-hopping space dog on a mission to find his legendary glowing green frisbee!

  • My tabby cat transforms into a mystical cat-dragon with healing powers and fireballs that blast in all directions!

  • My greyhound zooms around the racetrack in a tennis ball-covered car, racing for the ultimate prize—a golden, cheesy pizza trophy!

Tell us about your pet’s personality (Choose up to three)

Step 2: Submit a Photo, Video & Picture

Step 3: Parent/Guardian Consent and Release

I am at least 18 years old and am submitting this application on my own behalf or, if a child is involved, I am the parent or legal guardian of the child named above. I am the legal owner of the pet described above, or I have permission from the legal owner to submit this application.


I hereby grant full, irrevocable, perpetual, and unrestricted permission to Rescue Legends, its heirs, legal representatives, agents, successors, assigns, and those acting with its authority or on its behalf, to take, use, reuse, publish, and republish the submitted pet’s name, story, likeness, and related media—including but not limited to photographs, illustrations, video recordings, audio recordings, and written descriptions—for purposes including illustration, education, entertainment, promotion, and commercial use.


This may include (but is not limited to) use in trading cards, books, games, educational materials, merchandise (such as plush toys or apparel), digital content, promotional campaigns, social media, website materials, and media coverage. Submission of a pet does not guarantee selection or inclusion in Rescue Legends.


Rescue Legends retains sole editorial and creative discretion over which submissions are selected, how they are represented, and whether they appear in the card game, stories, or other materials. Not all selected Rescue Legends will receive a full story, book, audio adventure, or other narrative content, and that any such stories are developed and released at Rescue Legends’ discretion.


I understand that my pet’s image may be altered, digitally composed, stylized, or used in derivative works in whole or in part, and in any format or media now known or developed in the future, without limitation on changes or alterations, including color, shape, size, background, or context. I waive any moral rights or similar rights of authorship I may have in the submitted media, to the extent permitted by law, and any right to inspect or approve the final product or any associated materials, advertising, or usage.

I release Rescue Legends and its affiliates, agents, successors, or assigns from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with this use—including, but not limited to, claims for libel, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, or copyright infringement. I understand and agree that this permission is granted worldwide, in perpetuity, and without expectation of compensation. This release is governed by the laws of the state where Rescue Legends’ principal place of business is located, and any disputes will be handled in that location’s courts.

FAQS

Have questions about the contest or if your animal qualifies? Check out our frequently asked questions below!

What does it mean to be a rescue animal?

A rescue animal is a pet who was adopted from a shelter, foster program, rescue group, or rehomed from an unsafe or uncertain situation. Rescue animals often have stories of courage, kindness, resilience, and second chances — which is what inspires the world of Rescue Legends.

 

How does an animal qualify to be a rescue animal?

If your pet was adopted or rescued — whether from a shelter, foster care, the street, or another difficult situation — they qualify. Rescue journeys come in many forms, and every path to safety matters.

What kind of animals can be Rescue Legends?

We welcome all kinds of species!

Can I submit my rescue pet more than once?

No need to reapply!


We keep all submissions on file for future consideration, so if your pet isn’t selected right away, their application may still be reviewed in future rounds. To help us stay organized, we do not accept multiple applications for the same pet unless we specifically reach out for updated information.

What makes a good application entry?

The best applications help us really understand your pet — their journey, personality, and what makes them special.

Clear photos, a video of your pet, hand-drawn Legend picture, and details about your pet’s story and traits are the most helpful.

Who can submit a application for their pet?

Anyone is welcome to apply by sharing their rescue pet’s story. Families, individuals, and caregivers may submit an application.

Rescue Legends is designed for children ages 6–12, so stories and game content are created with young audiences in mind.

What happens if my animal is chosen?

If selected, your pet may become an official Rescue Legend, featured as part of the Rescue Legends world and help support future animals in need. This could include appearing in the card game and, for some Legends, inspiring adventure stories or other creative content.

Not every Rescue Legend will receive a full story, and stories are developed and released separately at Rescue Legends’ discretion.


If your pet is selected, we’ll reach out to you directly with next steps and a special way to celebrate your animal.

 

Does it cost anything to enter?

Nope! Submitting an application for your rescue is completely free.

 

Can I submit for more than one pet?

Absolutely! If you’ve given love and a home to more than one rescue, we want to hear about all of them.

 

Will I be notified if my pet is selected?

Yes! If your pet is selected, we’ll contact you directly using the email provided on the application.


Because of the number of submissions we receive, we may not be able to notify families individually if a pet is not selected right away.
