Before diving in, please take a moment to read the founder's note.

PawPlacer started with a simple vision: to bring modern, intuitive, and powerful tools to small-to-medium sized animal shelters—especially those with limited budgets and resources. We built a platform that was easy to use, affordable (or free), and packed with the features shelters actually need.

But as we've grown and word of our security practices spread, larger organizations reached out, asking for more. Municipal shelters, ultra-high-capacity rescues, and multi-location networks needed something faster, smarter, more secure, and more adaptable. They wanted PawPlacer's innovation—but at an enterprise level. PawPlacer's infrastructure can handle this with ease, but our feature set was intentionally built for smaller shelters.

PawPlacer Pro is our answer. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a complete reimagining of what a municipal or ultra-large-scale shelter management system can be. We've built a dedicated team — without pulling from our core PawPlacer team — and are actively working with shelter leaders to ensure PawPlacer Pro delivers exactly what these organizations need. We've invested heavily in cutting-edge automation and compliance tools to create something lightyears ahead of anything else in the industry.

Why municipal shelters will choose PawPlacer Pro:

• Customizable Workflows & Automations: Adapt every part of the system to match your operations—no more forcing your processes into rigid, outdated software. Hide features you don't need, bookmark ones you love, and automate repetitive tasks.
• Regulatory Compliance, Built In: Track and manage local, state, and federal requirements with ease. Automated documentation and reporting keep you ahead of audits.
• Advanced Data & Funding Analytics: Generate in-depth reports to justify grant funding, analyze adoption trends, and make data-driven decisions.
• Multi-Shelter & Network Management: Connect multiple locations, streamline transfers, and coordinate across an entire rescue network in real time.
• Unparalleled Support & Onboarding: We don't just help you sign up—we provide ongoing hands-on guidance, ensuring your team gets the most out of every feature. Once PawPlacer Pro launches, we will have dedicated support staff available 24/7 to help you with any issues you may have. These will be developers and deeply knowledgeable support staff, not outsourced customer service reps.
• Easy Pricing, No Games: Unlike legacy providers that lock you into expensive, outdated systems, PawPlacer Pro is built to deliver more power at a fraction of the cost. Pricing will scale based on organizational needs—but we promise no hidden fees and no surprise charges. PawPlacer Pro's pricing will also be another contributor to PawPlacer's free tier for smaller shelters, ensuring that resources allocated to bigger shelters directly impact the success of smaller ones.

PawPlacer Pro isn't just a product—it's a movement. We're working directly with real shelters to build the system they actually need, instead of forcing them to adapt to outdated software. If you're ready for the next generation of shelter management, get in touch for early access—we're onboarding a very small select group of shelters now.

You might be wondering why we're announcing a product before launch. The answer is simple: we build in the open, with our community at the core. PawPlacer Pro is already in development with input from real shelters, ensuring it solves real-world challenges from day one. Others might use this time to catch up, but we're not worried. We're not playing defense—we're setting the new standard.

We've invested heavily in building something bigger, better, and more advanced than anyone expects. The old ways won't keep up with what's coming next. PawPlacer Pro is going to change everything—join us and be part of it from the start when it launches later this year.
