FurballRescue
Rescue management software built for foster-based organizations. Track animals from intake to adoption. Manage your people, your communications, and your listings — all in one place.
Features
Animal Management
Track animals through their complete rescue lifecycle. Intake with source tracking, foster placement history, medical records, custom fields, photos with automatic resizing, and a full adoption pipeline from initial interest through contract signing.
People & Organizations
Manage fosters, adopters, volunteers, and partner organizations in a unified system. Track adoption applications with a structured review workflow. Record house checks. Assign roles with fine-grained permissions so everyone sees exactly what they need.
Communications
Email and SMS notifications with customizable templates and merge fields. Send adoption announcements, share animal profiles, and deliver foster updates. SMS alerts for time-sensitive events. Reliable transactional delivery with bounce handling and suppression lists.
Listing Syndication
Automatically publish available animals to Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, and RescueGroups. Update animal details once — listings update everywhere. Configurable value mappings translate your data into each platform's format automatically.
Board Reports
Live Release Rate calculation, intake tracking, outcome reports, and foster placement history. The numbers your board needs to demonstrate impact, apply for grants, and make informed decisions about organizational direction.
Role-Based Access
Dynamic permission system with 33 configurable permissions. Coordinators manage everything. Fosters see their animals and update status. Volunteers access what they need. Permissions are managed through the admin interface — no code changes required.
Adoption Fee Collection
Collect adoption fees online via Stripe Checkout. Send payment links to adopters, mark fees as paid manually, or waive with a reason. Adopters can optionally add a donation during checkout. Works without Stripe too — manual-only mode for cash and check.
Public Intake Queue
Accept animal reports from the public through a simple web form. Staff triage submissions with urgency levels, assignments, and status tracking. Emergency requests are highlighted. One click converts an accepted request into a full animal record.
Foster Matching
Find the best foster for each animal automatically. The matching algorithm scores fosters on size preferences, medical acceptance, household compatibility, and capacity. Fosters manage their own profiles and availability through a self-service page.
Operational Tools
Track per-animal expenses, log volunteer hours, attach documents, and schedule automated post-adoption follow-ups. An audit trail records every change. Automated daily backups with optional cloud archival keep your data safe.
See It In Action
Follow a dog's journey from intake to adoption — dashboard, medical records, foster placements, applications, and the moment they find their forever home.

Why FurballRescue
Built for Foster-Based Rescues
Most rescue software started as shelter management systems and was adapted for rescue use. FurballRescue was designed from the ground up for organizations where animals live in foster homes, not kennels. The data model, the workflows, and the terminology all reflect how foster-based rescues actually operate.
Flat Pricing That Respects Your Mission
$80/month. No per-animal fees that punish you for saving more lives. No per-user fees that discourage you from giving volunteers access. No pricing tiers that hold features hostage. Your success should never increase your software cost.
Your Data Belongs to You
Export your complete database at any time in standard formats. No lock-in, no export fees, no degraded data on the way out. If you ever decide to leave, everything you built goes with you. We earn your business by being good, not by holding your data hostage.
Honest About How It's Built
FurballRescue is built by a small team collaborating with AI. We're transparent about that because it's a genuine advantage: faster development, sustained quality, and a product that keeps getting better. Our architecture decisions, our testing practices, and our operating model are all published openly.
