urShelter

Run the shelter. Not the software.

Intake, kennels, census, daily care, medical, placement and follow-up — over one animal record that the animal keeps for life, and that travels with it when it leaves you.

Already in our directory? Claim your existing listing instead — that keeps the record and its history, rather than creating a second one.

One animal, one history

An animal arrives as a stray, is fostered, is adopted, and is seen by a vet four years later. Most systems hand that animal a new record at every step. This one does not.

The animal is the record

Intake, care, medical events, custody changes and placement all attach to the same animal — so the history a new steward receives is the history you actually built.

Custody is explicit

Who holds this animal, on whose authority, since when. Foster placements, adoptions and transfers each move custody rather than copying the animal somewhere new.

It survives you

When an animal is adopted, its record goes with it. The adopter is not handed a printout — they inherit the record, and the vet they choose can read the parts they are entitled to.

What your team works in

Built and in use today.

Intake

Stray, surrender, transfer, seizure and emergency boarding, with microchip lookup at the point of entry so an animal already known to the ecosystem is recognised rather than duplicated.

Census and kennel board

Who is in care, where they are, and what is free — across runs, isolation, nursery and foster.

Daily care

A care board your staff can work from a phone, with routine events recorded as they happen rather than reconstructed at end of shift.

Placement

Adoptions, contracts, follow-ups and fosters — including the 30/90/365 continuity checks after the animal goes home.

People

Staff, volunteers and hours, with roles that mean something at your organization rather than everywhere at once.

Health and safety

Outbreak response and the veterinary practices you work with, connected to the animals rather than kept in a separate list.

On your team’s phones

Live screens from a demonstration shelter, captured on a phone. Each one is a feature your staff can use today.

Holds, stages and next action

Each animal shows its workflow stage, the holds that block adoption, and the next thing that has to happen.

At a glance: stage, time in care, placement, holds, next medical and next action.

Surrender help

A public form for people thinking of surrendering, your local help listed first, and a queue for staff to follow up.

Litters born in care

Record how many were born; each newborn gets its own record with the mother attached and the father recorded as unknown.

Returns

An adopter can ask to return an animal from their own account; the shelter accepts it as an owner surrender.

The shelter sees the request and accepts or declines it.

Personality notes

Staff in every role add notes and traits that stay with the animal wherever it goes next.

Bulk intake

Take in several animals at once, from a spreadsheet or typed in; check the rows first, then take them in.

Listing readiness

Before a listing goes live, it shows exactly what is still missing.

Being built now

Named here because it is coming, not because it is ready. Nothing below is in your hands yet.

Scan → act → done

Planned

Print a temporary QR collar tag for an animal whose identity is not yet known, print QR labels for kennels and locations, then move an animal by scanning it and scanning where it is going. Census, custody and history update from the movement itself.

Field and municipal connection

Planned

Stray holds, bite and rabies workflows, and the animal-control side of the relationship you already have with your municipality.

You do not have to replace what you run

Most shelters already have a management system, a vet, a payment processor and a way of doing things. This is designed to sit alongside those, not to demand a migration before it is useful.
