Integrations

An API you can actually build on.

Every screen in Rescuely is built on the same public REST API you can have, and every event in the shelter can leave as a signed webhook. That is not true of any other product in this market, and it is the reason an integration nobody has written yet is still possible today. API access is a $10 a month add-on; running the shelter without it costs nothing.

What "planned" means

Anything marked planned is not in the product yet. It is listed here, on the roadmap, instead of implied by a logo grid that does not exist.

Getting animals adopted

Your adoptable animals published where adopters already look, on a stable identifier so a re-listed animal is not a new animal.

Petfinder

Listing feed on the four-hour cycle Petfinder publishes on: three photos, HTML stripped, species-conditional fields mapped from your animal record.

planned

Adopt-a-Pet

Listing feed with four photos. Enabling the sync overwrites what is on their side, so we make you confirm that once, in words, before the first push.

planned

RescueGroups.org

Fan-out to the free adoption portals RescueGroups syndicates to.

planned

Your own website

A public adoptable-pets JSON endpoint and an embeddable widget, scoped to your shelter by hostname. No key needed for public data.

planned

Getting animals home

Microchip registration is the difference between a stray that goes home and a stray that becomes an intake.

Microchip registries

Registration pushed to the right registry by chip prefix, so nobody has to know which of the nine registries a given chip belongs to.

planned

Petco Love Lost

Facial-recognition lost-pet matching against your intake photos.

planned

Everything else you already run

No product in this market ships webhooks. Rescuely does, which means an integration nobody has written yet is still possible today.

Outbound webhooks

Signed with HMAC-SHA256, retried on a backoff, replayable from the dashboard, and guarded against pointing at a private address. Subscribe to intake, outcome, adoption, medical and care-log events. Included with the API add-on.

live

REST API

The same API every screen in Rescuely calls. Scoped, revocable keys with per-key rate limits, an OpenAPI document, and a browsable reference. Part of the $10 a month API add-on.

live

Zapier

Built on the webhooks and the API above, so the connector is glue rather than a second integration surface.

planned

QuickBooks

Adoption fees, donations and payouts posted to the accounts your bookkeeper already uses.

planned

Mailchimp

Adopter, foster and donor segments kept current from the person record, respecting each contact’s opt-out.

planned

Twilio

SMS for medical reminders, foster check-ins and adoption follow-ups.

planned

Reporting bodies

Modeled as fields on the record rather than as a query run afterwards, so the export is a read.

Shelter Animals Count

The monthly matrix built from intake type, transfer scope, age bucket and the admitted-for-sheltering flag, each captured the day it happened.

live

Asilomar Accords

Lines A through W and live release rate, from the Asilomar category recorded at both intake and outcome.

live

State and county reporting

Saved report definitions per jurisdiction, because every state asks the same questions in a different shape.

planned

Coming from another system

Migration is a one-time job we do with you, not a self-service import you are left alone with.

PetPoint

Animal, person, intake, outcome and medical history, keeping your existing animal numbers.

planned

ShelterLuv

Full export mapped across, including photos and adoption history.

planned

Animal Shelter Manager

Direct import from ASM3, whose data model is the closest to this one.

planned

A spreadsheet

Most small rescues arrive with one. We map the columns with you rather than making you match a template.

planned

For developers

What the API add-on gets you, for $10 a month.

One price for all of it, on top of the free plan. If you are not building against Rescuely you do not need any of this, and the listing feeds, the public adoptable-pets endpoint and the full data export stay free without it.

OpenAPI document
Generated from the running API, so a client generated from it is never out of date with the server.
Scoped API keys
Read or write, per module, per key. Revocable, expiring, and rate-limited individually.
Signed webhooks
HMAC-SHA256 over the timestamp and body. Retries on a backoff to twenty-four hours, then dead-letters where you can replay it.
Idempotency
Send an Idempotency-Key on a create and a retry is not a duplicate animal.
Optimistic concurrency
ETags and If-Match, so two people editing one animal is a 409 and not a silent overwrite.
Problem details
RFC 9457 errors with a machine-readable code, per-field validation errors, and a trace id that matches our logs.

Your shelter can be running this by the end of the day.

Create your account, verify your organization, and start entering animals. No sales call, no quote, no card. The part of Rescuely that runs a shelter is free and stays free.
