Stop searching for matches. Let intake find them for you.
We're building direct integrations with shelter management systems so that every stray intake automatically cross-references against active lost-pet reports — before your staff ever has to go looking.
This isn't live yet — and we'd rather tell you that than oversell it.
The Shelter Portal is on our roadmap, not in your inbox. We're in the early stages of building direct integrations with shelter management platforms, and we want to build them with input from the shelters that will actually use them — not in a vacuum. If that sounds like your organization, this page explains what we're building and how to get involved early.
How the integration is designed to work
Three pieces, working together so matching happens automatically instead of manually.
Direct Intake Integration
A direct API connection to your shelter management system — starting with Shelterluv and PetPoint — so new stray intakes sync automatically. No re-keying, no separate portal to check.
Automatic Cross-Referencing
The moment an intake photo lands in your system, it gets checked against active lost-pet reports across the network — the same registry behind our Smart Tags. Likely matches surface on their own.
Staff Review, Not Staff Searching
Your team reviews suggested matches instead of manually scrolling lost-pet posts and social groups. The system narrows the list; a human still makes the call.
The lost-pet reports we're matching against come from the same registry behind our Smart Tag system — every tag scan and owner report feeds the pool your intake photos would be checked against.
Why this is worth your time
Overcrowding isn't solved by more kennels. It's solved by getting animals back to their families faster — and doing it with less staff time per intake.
Shorter length-of-stay
Every day an animal sits unclaimed because nobody made the connection is a day of kennel space, staff time, and stress you didn't need to spend. Faster matching means faster reunification.
Less manual cross-checking
Staff currently comparing intake photos against lost-pet Facebook groups and posters by eye is a real cost. Automated cross-referencing turns hours of looking into minutes of confirming.
Relief from overcrowding
Reunification is the fastest, cheapest way out of an overcrowded shelter — faster than adoption, and it opens the run back up for the next stray that comes in.
Built to be free where it counts.
Owner-side tools — reporting a pet lost, activating the recovery network, keeping a tag active — are and will always be free. Shelter integrations are a partnership on top of that free foundation, not a paywall in front of it. We're also building a parallel partnership track for veterinary clinics, since a lot of found-pet identification happens at the vet before it ever reaches a shelter.

There's no self-serve signup yet — this is a partnership we want to build with input from real shelter operations, not a dashboard we hand you cold. If you want to shape the integration or get on the list for early access, reach out directly.
