Everything Your Rescue Needs
ShelterLoop unifies animal management, volunteer coordination, compliance tracking, and communications in one purpose-built platform.
Core Operations
Digital applications, smart animal matching, status tracking, PDF contract generation, and legally binding e-signatures — all in one guided workflow from application to "Gotcha Day."
Complete digital profiles with medical history, behavioral assessments, microchip data, vital signs, and an S3-backed media library with OCR for scanned documents.
Online surrender forms capture detailed history before intake. One-click conversion turns an accepted surrender into a full animal record, preserving all data.
A dedicated dashboard for volunteers to view assigned tasks, current fosters, and announcements — without access to sensitive admin data.
Management & Compliance
Built-in tools for NY State shelter regulations: intake timelines (2h/24h), space calculators, vital signs logging, and emergency triage checklists.
Send secure e-signature links for foster agreements, codes of ethics, and conflict of interest policies. Automatic expiration tracking and renewal alerts.
A built-in Learning Management System for creating and delivering slide-based training courses with quizzes and digital-signature certification. Tracks completion, enforces version-based retraining when protocols change, and generates compliance reports showing every volunteer's certification status. Courses can be exported and shared between organizations via the ShelterLoop Training Package (.stp) format.
Custom report builder, monthly adoption summaries, adoption trend charts, foster performance leaderboards, and PayPal/financial reconciliation tools.
Manage veterinary clinics, groomer partners, and a confidential Do Not Adopt (DNA) registry with automated scanning of incoming applications.
Integrated AKC Reunite API for inventory management and direct chip registrations without leaving the platform.
Communications
A block-based email editor with "Smart Blocks" that automatically pull in recent adoptions or upcoming events. RFC-compliant one-click unsubscribe.
Coordinate fundraisers, meetups, and meet-and-greets with dedicated event pages, ticketing, and guest list check-in tools.
Post internal announcements to specific groups — Staff, Board, Fosters — with priority levels and automated expiration.
Productivity
Press Ctrl+K anywhere to instantly navigate to any page, report, or action. Power Mode shortcuts for advanced users.
Granular RBAC with configurable permission groups. Two-factor authentication for all admin accounts.
Searchable database of pet product recalls and FDA adverse event reports, keeping your fosters informed automatically.
