Your pet’s first pen pal is waiting ♥
Real mail with your pet’s name on it, from a pen pal somewhere across the country. The fun is in opening it together — and every address stays private, on both sides.
Join pets across the country being matched with pen pals.
Open it with us first
Everything in one exchange
✓
A pen pal, matched by hand
A person picks the pair, and you find out who when the mail arrives.
✓
An envelope addressed to your pet
Their name on the front, through USPS, like anybody else’s mail.
✓
A postcard from their pen pal
A thick, matte card: their photo on the front, a message to your pet on the back.
✓
A themed sticker sheet
A new design every exchange, or one with your own pet on it.
And a digital badge, one per exchange
This one isn’t in the envelope. It turns up on your pet’s profile with their own photo on it, and you keep one from each exchange.
Start to finish
How it gets to your mailbox
It all travels by snail mail, so give it a couple of weeks to reach your mailbox.
    01
    Tell us about your pet
    A photo, what they’re like, and a message to their future pen pal.
    02
    We match them by hand
    Someone here reads the profiles and picks the pair. We’ll email you the moment yours is set.
    03
    We print it and mail it
    Their pen pal’s postcard, with the message written on the back, and that exchange’s sticker sheet. We mail it ourselves, so neither family ever sees the other’s address.
    04
    Continue your friendship
    Share photos and videos in The Yard, say hello to their pen pal, and keep it going if you’d like.
After it lands
The big reveal
The moment your pet gets to meet their pen pal — capture it and post to The Yard, our free community.

What it costs
Everyone’s welcome.

    “What if my pen pal doesn’t send me a postcard back?”
    You’re not relying on a stranger to remember. We do the printing and the mailing for both sides, so your pet’s mail goes out either way.
    “And if it gets lost in the mail?”
    Then it’s on us. Tell us it never turned up and we’ll send another one, free. We won’t ask you to photograph anything or talk you out of it.
