Donation impact
Shelterluv isn’t just software — it’s revenue. 71% of adopters donate an average of $20+ through our mobile checkout. Our customers have collectively raised over $63 million through the platform.
We MAKE money off of Shelterluv. I was SUPER concerned when adopting Shelterluv that it would be an expense to us. Boy, was I wrong.
Rick DeLoach, Fayette Humane Society
Mobile Checkout
Send a payment link straight to an adopter’s phone and they’re done in minutes—no card readers, no paperwork, no back-and-forth at the front desk.
Quick & easy
In just a few taps, adopters can sign their contracts and disclaimers digitally, review a pet insurance option, and complete their payment entirely from their own device.
Maximize donations
Because we never miss a chance to support your mission, adopters are prompted to donate on your behalf twice during checkout. It adds up: 71% of adopters donate an average of $20 or more.
Works across devices
Set up a tablet or computer kiosk for adopters who prefer a bigger screen, or keep it phone-only. No extra hardware is required.

Best for Pets
Shelterpay connects adopters with special offers and essential services to support pets and their new families, all developed with an animals-first approach. We back every offer with regional data analysis and real customer feedback to ensure they’re making a meaningful difference for adopters, pets, and shelters alike.
Shelterluv does not sell, rent, or swap data. Adopter information is only shared when the adopters signs up for a partner service or opts-in to partner communications.
