About this app

Pawsitive Foster is the coordination app that animal shelters and rescue orgs actually asked for. No more group texts at midnight. No more spreadsheets pretending to be software. Your entire foster program, finally in one place.
Most shelter tools were built for kennel management and municipal reporting. Foster coordination got bolted on as an afterthought. Pawsitive Foster is different. Every screen, every workflow, every notification was designed around how foster programs actually run. From the plea system to the booking flow to the foster directory, this is what coordination software should have been all along.
Whether you're a coordinator placing bottle babies at 4pm or a foster ready to jump in, Pawsitive Foster keeps everyone connected and animals moving into care faster.

FOR SHELTER COORDINATORS
Send targeted pleas to your foster network filtered by availability, experience, and specialty. Responses come back organized by animal and ranked by best fit, so the right foster rises to the top based on matching skills and availability. Assign animals with one tap and manage your entire inventory with status tracking. Monitor pickup scheduling and foster activity from anywhere. Communicate with fosters through built-in messaging, SMS alerts, and community announcements.

AI THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE YOU
Your AI coordinator assistant drafts compelling pleas from animal profiles so you send faster, not harder. Select an animal, let the AI generate the plea copy, review it, and send. What used to take 10 minutes now takes seconds.

FOR FOSTER VOLUNTEERS
Receive real-time notifications when animals need foster homes. View detailed animal profiles with photos, medical needs, and care instructions before you respond. Express interest with one tap. No texting or calling needed. Book pickup appointments directly from the app on your schedule. Message your coordinator through in-app chat whenever you need support. Track your foster history and current assignments in one place.

KEY FEATURES

BUILT FOR FOSTER PROGRAMS, NOT BOLTED ON
Most shelter software was designed for kennel management and municipal reporting, not foster coordination. Pawsitive Foster is different. Every screen, every workflow, every notification was designed for foster programs first. From the plea system to the booking flow to the foster directory, this is coordination software that actually fits how your program runs.

GETTING STARTED
Coordinators create an organization and invite their foster network. Fosters join with an invite code and start receiving pleas right away. Free to start, no credit card required.
Pawsitive Foster is built for animal rescue organizations and shelters that rely on foster volunteers. Whether you're managing puppies, kittens, bottle babies, or animals with medical needs, the app keeps everyone coordinated and animals moving into care faster.
