Who Rescuely is for
And for the one that can, and would rather spend it on veterinary care. The product does not change shape based on how big you are — there is one plan, and everybody is on it.
You have no building, so your kennel board is a list of living rooms. Rescuely tracks the animal in the home it is actually in, whose home that is, when it was due back, and what the foster logged last night.
Foster homes with capacity and preferences, placements as real movements, the care log on the foster’s own phone.
You answer to a council, a state, and whoever files the open-records request. Every intake type, hold, and disposition you have to defend is a field on the record with an audit trail behind it.
Legal and bite-quarantine holds, jurisdiction on intake, Shelter Animals Count and Asilomar out of the box.
The number has to be the same every time somebody asks for it, and it has to survive somebody checking your working. It comes out of the columns it was recorded in.
Live release rate, length of stay, occupancy, intake and outcome by type and month, all as reads.
A rabbit rescue is not a small dog shelter, and a parrot rescue is neither. Species-specific fields, breeds and colors, and custom fields where your intake asks something nobody else asks — which bunnies are bonded, which bird is a plucker, whose diet is nobody else’s.
Custom fields on any record, per-species defaults, application forms you define yourself.
Locations, wings, rooms, kennels and runs as a real hierarchy, with users scoped to the site they work at and animals that move between them on the record.
Location and unit tree, movements between sites, role assignments scoped by location.
When length of stay is a lifetime, what matters is the daily record: weight trend, diet, medication adherence, and who last spent time with the animal.
Weight history, treatment protocols that keep scheduling, per-animal cost tracking.
Getting started
01
Self-service, in a couple of minutes. You give your organization’s name, state and EIN or registration number, and we verify it automatically against public nonprofit and licensing records.
02
Locations, kennels and runs, your staff and volunteers, and the roles that decide who can do what. A volunteer who may only log care is a real role, not an honor system.
03
From a spreadsheet or another system. We map your columns rather than making you match a template, and we keep your animal numbers exactly as they are.
04
Every animal gets a QR sticker. That is the moment the care log starts filling itself in, and it is the moment most shelters say the thing stopped feeling like software.
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.
