Direct answers to the questions shelters, rescues, and adopters ask most.
Modern shelters use cloud-based shelter management platforms like PawMates Pro for intake, adoption applications, medical records, foster coordination, volunteer scheduling, inventory, payments, and reporting — with unlimited users on every plan.
PawMates Pro Rescue Free is $0/month for foster-first rescues (up to 25 active pets). Kennel shelter plans start at $149/month (Starter) and scale to Growing ($299), Pro ($599), and Large ($899) by intake volume. Rescue Plus is $79/month. Every plan includes unlimited users, free data migration, daily backups, and a free adopter app — no per-seat or per-adoption platform fees. Fund donation fees are 0% on Starter and both Rescue tiers, 1% on Growing, 2% on Pro, 3% on Large, and 4% on Enterprise.
The best fit depends on your size and workflow. PawMates Pro is built for shelters, rescues, humane societies, and municipal animal services that want all-in-one operations, compatibility-based adopter matching, and free migration from legacy systems.
No. PawMates Pro does not integrate with Petfinder as a listing feed. Adoptable pets import automatically from your shelter website and publish on the PawMates adopter app with compatibility-based matching — you never manually re-type listings.
