You write the questions. References and landlord checks are tracked against the application itself, and everyone on staff sees the same decision and who made it.

The application page shows the stage it is at and the one action that moves it on: the decision, then the contract, then the signature, then the signed PDF. Nobody has to remember what happens next, because only the next thing is on screen.
Signing flips the animal to adopted on its own. Declined and withdrawn are off-ramps, not dead ends: reopening puts the application back in review rather than approving it out of a closed state.
Build the application in a drag-and-drop canvas: keep the built-in sections you want, hide the ones you do not, and add your own sections and questions anywhere in the order. Different forms for different animals, so a dog applicant is never asked the cat questions.
Built-in and custom sections sit in one reorderable list. Preview it exactly as the adopter sees it before you publish.
Set which references you require. Each one is tracked against the application through its own states, so you can see who has replied.
Approve, decline or request more information, and the applicant hears about it in your words, from a template you control.
Tick the rows, pick a status, confirm. Everyone affected gets the same note and every change is written down against the application it belongs to. If somebody else moved one while you were reading, the batch stops and tells you instead of half-applying.
When one adopter has applied for several animals, the others are on the page while you decide. Approving one can decline the rest, but only the ones you tick: bonded pairs and two-pet households are the reason it is never the default.
Every note carries its author and its time, and only the author can edit it. The thread stays on the page after the decision, so six months later you can see what the call was based on. None of it ever reaches the applicant.
No monthly fee. Five dollars when an animal is adopted.
Next. The people who turn up on a Saturday and make the week work.
