A free, verified adoption platform built for UK rescues. Manage every listing, track every application, find real homes. No cost. No catch. No commercial sellers.
Facebook, Gumtree, your own website, three WhatsApp groups. Animals fall through the cracks because you cannot track them all.
You spend hours screening applicants with no structured process. Some lie. Some ghost. Some return the animal in a week.
Your shelter is invisible to adopters 50 miles away. Local reach only. Animals wait months because nobody knows they exist.
Commercial platforms charge per listing or per month. Your budget goes to food and vet bills, not software.
Submit your charity registration number. We verify against UK registers. Takes under 48 hours.
Add profiles: photos, age, temperament, medical notes, special needs. Bulk import available.
Applications arrive structured. Review, shortlist, schedule interviews. Track status from enquiry to forever home.
Built by talking to rescue managers across England, Wales, and Scotland. Every feature exists because a shelter asked for it.
Photos, age, breed, temperament, medical history, special needs. Each profile gets a unique shareable link.
Kanban-style board: New, Reviewing, Interview, Home Check, Approved, Adopted. Drag and drop.
Structured 7-step process filters out impulse adopters. Previous pet history, home type, working hours -- all collected upfront.
Monthly reports: views, applications, conversion rate, average time-to-adoption. Export to PDF or CSV.
Automated check-in reminders at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year. Track long-term outcomes.
One account for multiple foster homes and locations. Assign animals to specific sites.
"We used to post on Facebook and pray. Now every application comes structured, every adopter is pre-screened, and we actually know our conversion rate. We placed 40% more animals in Q1."
