Everything your rescue needs in one place
From the moment an animal comes through your door to the day they find their forever home, and every task in between.
Animal Management
Rich profiles with photos, medical records, vaccination tracking, microchip registry, behavior notes, and kennel cards. Bulk operations for your whole roster.
Adoption Pipeline
Visual Kanban-style workflow from application to approved. Custom questionnaires, follow-up scheduling, adoption agreements, and an adopter self-service portal.
Foster Management
Track placements, communicate with fosters, manage returns, and keep detailed foster history per animal. Fosters get their own portal to stay connected.
Donations & Fundraising
Accept one-time and recurring donations through Stripe. Track donor history, send tax receipts, run campaigns, and watch grant deadlines, all in one place.
Events & Volunteers
Host adoption events, fundraisers, and community outreach. Manage volunteer profiles, track hours, and coordinate schedules without the chaos.
Website Builder
Build a beautiful public website with a drag-and-drop block editor. Custom domains, SEO controls, up-to-date animal listings, donation pages, and Petfinder sync.
Plus the everyday essentials — included in every plan
From intake to forever home, every step is tracked
Stop losing applications in email threads. RescueSphere gives you a visual workflow that keeps every adoption organized, every follow-up scheduled, and every adopter informed.

Visual Kanban board to move applications through stages
-
Automated follow-up reminders so nothing slips through
-
Adopter portal where families can track their application
Every vaccine, every vet visit, every reminder, handled.
Stop tracking medical records on paper or in spreadsheets. RescueSphere logs every vaccine, treatment, and vet appointment per animal, then sends reminders by email or SMS so nothing gets missed.
-
Vaccination schedules per species (dog, cat, etc.) with auto-due dates
-
Treatment logs with medication dose, frequency, and route
-
Vet appointment scheduling with calendar reminders
-
Weight tracking and growth charts for kittens and puppies

Email and SMS reminders to staff, fosters, and adopters

SMS is included — no Twilio account or setup required. Rescue sends one-way texts from a shared number; Rescue Pro and Operations get a dedicated two-way number.
Your organization deserves a beautiful website
Stop paying for a separate website platform. RescueSphere includes a full drag-and-drop website builder with up-to-date animal listings, donation pages, and event calendars, all built from the records you already keep in RescueSphere.
-
Custom domain support: use your own domain or get a free rescuesphere.app subdomain
-
Up-to-date animal listings: mark a pet adopted once in RescueSphere and your public site updates itself, so you're never editing the website by hand
-
Petfinder sync: the animals you already track get pushed to Petfinder too, so you enter each pet once instead of re-typing it into another portal
-
SEO controls: set your meta descriptions and social share images, and let RescueSphere generate the sitemaps for you

Fund your mission, not your bookkeeper
RescueSphere connects your donation pages, donor records, campaigns, and finance tracking in one place. Accept donations through Stripe or Zeffy (0% platform fees), send automatic tax receipts, and track grant deadlines, all without a separate tool.

Automated tax receipts and year-end donor summaries

Email campaigns to engage your donor community

A real person, on every plan.
When you email us, a person reads it, and you'll usually hear back within one business day. When something breaks, we tell you what happened and what we're doing about it. Higher plans add priority response and phone support, but a real human is part of every plan. We're a small team, and we like it that way.
