Transparent plans built for small volunteer teams and growing organizations. Full feature access on every plan.
Verified reviews from shelters and rescue organizations of all sizes.
"We switched to PawPlacer after outgrowing Airtable and a patchwork of Google Drive folders. Before PawPlacer, our intake-to-adoption process averaged about 21 days because information lived in too many places. Within three months of switching, that dropped closer to 14 days simply because everyone could see the same information in real time."
"Best decision our rescue has made in the years we have been around. Our volunteers who tend to veer on the younger side genuinely enjoy using the website. Before, we had to adjust our workflow to a rigid platform but now we just change some settings to get the software to work with our workflow."
"PawPlacer is a robust platform for animal management, whether your organization has a facility or is foster-based. It is particularly easy to use on mobile, which is where most platforms fail. Their team is communicative, adaptable, and easy to work with as they implement feedback quickly and effectively."
"I am continuously impressed by the pawplacer staff and their responsiveness. When we ask about features that don't exist currently they build them for us. Pawplacer has facilitated over 140 adoptions for us and we can testify to their no-fee structure. We recommend this to any org tired of what exists now."
Straight answers to the most common questions we hear from rescues.
No catch.
We keep costs low through thoughtful decisions, modern technology, and a mission-first mindset.
We built PawPlacer from a personal commitment to animal welfare, not a profit motive.
A modern tech stack lets us deliver powerful features efficiently without the baggage of legacy systems.
We grow through word-of-mouth instead of paid advertising, so we stay focused on your experience.
No investors, no profit pressure. PawPlacer is built to support rescue organizations long-term with a sustainable roadmap.
No ads, no data sharing. Stripe handles payments so we never see your billing info.
Paid subscriptions directly subsidize free access for organizations in need.
Can we import our existing data?
Yes. You can import from spreadsheets and we help map your fields during setup.
Can different volunteers have different levels of access?
Yes. Permissions are role-based, so each person only sees what they should.
How long does setup usually take?
Most teams have an admin configure the system over a day or two and then quickly roll it out to other team members. Less than a week is typical for most organizations.
Will this work for large foster networks?
Yes. Foster coordination is built in and designed for distributed, foster-heavy teams.
Does PawPlacer integrate with Petfinder or Petlink?
Yes. PawPlacer offers Petfinder and Petlink support in the standard workflows.
Do we need formal training before getting started?
No. Most teams can explore and get started right away after signing up, but our team is always happy to provide guidance and support as needed.
