Once you've made a search, you'll see a small heart button in the top left corner of each individual dog. To like the dog, simply click the little heart symbol. The symbol will then turn pink as a sign that the dog has been added to your likes. 

Liking a profile is a great way to show your interest, whether you're a Basic or Premium member. When you like a dog's profile, they’ll receive a notification letting them know — this can help encourage them to check out your profile in return and possibly reach out if they’re interested too. Many owners choose to message borrowers who have already shown interest, so it’s a useful way to get started.

You can also like a dog on their profile. Click the little heart beneath their profile pictures, and wait for it to turn pink to confirm that the dog has been added to your likes. 

What happens after I like a borrower?

• All members, whether Basic or Premium, can like each other’s profiles.
• As a Basic member, liking profiles is a great way to begin browsing and expressing interest in local dogs while you explore the platform.
• You’ll be able to see all the profiles you’ve liked in your dashboard, making it easy to revisit and send a message to any owner you were interested in.
• To message owners and arrange a meet-up, you’ll need to be a Premium member. You can learn more about what’s included with Premium and how to upgrade here.

Liking an owners profile is just the first step in building a long-lasting, local connection and it’s a great way to get started!
