Run your rescue from one calm, connected workspace.
Rescue Workflow connects intake, medical care, foster placement, applications, contracts, Stripe payments, donations, and follow-up for every kind of animal your rescue serves, so each animal has a clear next step and every decision has the context it deserves.
From the field
“Rescue Workflow has helped us bring more of our daily rescue work into one place. Intake, applications, follow-ups, and records are easier to track, and our team has a clearer view of what needs attention. It has not replaced the judgment and care this work requires, but it has made the coordination around that work calmer and more organized.”
Sound Familiar?
These are the day-to-day struggles we hear from every rescue before they switch to Rescue Workflow.
Built by Those Who've Been There
Over decades of shelter management experience and rescue visits worldwide, we saw the same gap everywhere: animal welfare expertise trapped in institutional shelter software, unavailable to the independent rescues doing some of the most important work. Rescue Workflow was built to close that gap by bringing proven workflows, mature processes, and operationally sound tools to any rescue, from day one. The all-inclusive taxonomy reflects a simple belief: rescue is not just cats and dogs; compassion spans all animals.
- Field-tested globally
Workflows designed from real shelter visits and hands-on rescue operations - not assumptions.
- Mature by design
Practices refined over years in professional shelter management, built directly into every feature.
- Self-guided from day one
The system guides proven practices as your team works, so every rescue starts with calmer, clearer operations.

How migration works →Common questions
Can I import my existing animal records from another system?
Yes. Our guided 4-step CSV import works with Shelterluv, PetPoint, and any system that can export to CSV. Import animals, contacts, medical records, and behavioral records in minutes - with column mapping, validation, and a preview before you commit.
How much does Rescue Workflow cost?
A free 30-day trial is available with no credit card required. After your trial, Starter plans cover everything most rescues need at an accessible price. Professional plans add kennel management, volunteer scheduling, and advanced features. See the pricing page for full details.
Is this built for small rescues or large shelters?
Both. The platform works for a 2-person volunteer rescue all the way up to a multi-staff professional shelter. Start on Starter, upgrade to Professional as you grow - same data, same history, no migration needed.
Does it sync with Adopt-a-Pet?
Yes. Rescue Workflow pushes your adoptable animals to Adopt-a-Pet automatically — listings go up as animals become adoptable and come down when they go home, no manual re-entry. And Adopt-a-Pet syndicates onward to its partner network, including PetSmart Charities, PEDIGREE Foundation, 24PetConnect, Good Dog, Amazon pet-adoption integrations, Found Animals Foundation, and ZiNG — so one connection can put your animals in front of adopters far beyond a single site.
Can Rescue Workflow process payments and donations?
Yes. Rescue Workflow includes built-in Stripe payment processing for adoption and surrender fees, plus donation processing that keeps income connected to your financial records.
How do digital adoption contracts work?
When an adoption is recorded, Rescue Workflow generates a pre-filled contract with the adopter's name, animal details, fees, and your custom clauses. Adopters receive a secure link to sign digitally. Fosters are auto-notified when signed, and the adopter receives a pickup scheduling email.
Can fosters access the platform without seeing everything?
Yes. Foster users get their own scoped dashboard showing only the animals in their care. They can log feeding, behavioral notes, and submit return requests without seeing confidential staff data.
Does Rescue Workflow work on mobile?
Fully. The platform is responsive and works on any smartphone or tablet. Intake animals, capture photos, log medical updates, and approve applications from anywhere.
Can I export my data if I decide to leave?
Always. Rescue Workflow provides a full data export at any time - all animals, contacts, medical records, photos, and adoptions packaged as CSV files. You're never locked in.
Every animal deserves a team that can see
the next responsible step.
Keep care, applications, tasks, and decisions connected — without losing the human judgment that matters.
