OverviewAnimals
Every animal, one record.
Photos, medical history, microchip, and any field you decide to add yourself. Intake through outcome, including transfers to and from partner shelters and adoptions taken at the front desk.
The record holds what you already write down.
Species and breed, sex and age, microchip, intake date, adoption fee, and the photos adopters actually look at. Then add your own fields: kennel number, whether the yard has to be fenced, foster-only. They sit on the record like everything else.
One animal, one page. Medical, the public feed, questions from adopters, and transfer history are tabs on it, not four places you keep in your head.

Status says where the animal actually is.
One state per animal, and setting it is the only place you set it. Mark her adopted and she comes off your public site the same second. Available and adopted are the ends of it. Stray hold, medical hold, quarantine, foster and pending adoption are the middle, where most of a shelter’s animals actually live.

Adopted, foster, transferred, returned to owner, returned to field and deceased open a guided form instead of flipping a label, so the date, the person and the reason are all on the record. That is what makes the Shelter Animals Count report add up at the end of the month.
Medical history your vet would recognize.
Wellness visits, vaccine series, chronic protocols and end-of-life care all live on the animal. Anything overdue or due inside 30 days is counted at the top of the tab, so it is visible before it is a problem.

One animal, one medical history, no second binder
Find the animal in front of you.
Search by name, narrow by species, narrow by status. Every filter is in the address bar, so the list you check every morning is a bookmark.
01
Bring them across
Start from our spreadsheet template, paste your rows in, and upload. Rows we cannot read are flagged before anything is imported and can be fixed right there, and any that still fail come back named line by line rather than swallowed.
02
Add one in under a minute
Name, species, status, photo. Everything else can wait until the dog is out of the van and you have both hands free.
03
Nothing quietly changes
Every edit to a record is written to a permanent log with a name and a time, and the write is refused if the log fails. Nothing changes without leaving a mark.
SnoutWare is open in early access.
Free to use. Five dollars when an animal is adopted.
