A complete platform for foster-based rescues
Foster-based rescue is complex — a scattered “office,” volunteer staff, and nonstop animal care. Shelterluv makes it simple: one platform for fostering, medical records, adoptions, reunification, and fundraising. Less time chasing info, more time placing animals.

With the addition of Fosterluv to the Shelterluv platform, we rolled it out to our fosters, and even in the early stage, it is saving us time as foster parents can record weights, add pics and bios themselves.
