Fostering saves animals' lives. Second Tail connects you with rescues near you and handles the coordination — so you can focus on the animal, not the admin.

No experience required — rescues are happy to guide first-timers every step of the way.
Tell rescues a bit about yourself — your home, your schedule, and the animals you can welcome.
Browse rescues in your area and express interest. They'll reach out to get you started.
When you're matched, everything lands in your app — care instructions, contacts, the works.
Your foster dashboard lives on your phone, so help is always one tap away — no more texts back and forth, lost instructions, or wondering who to call.
Low on food or poop bags? Send a request to your rescue right from the app.
Medication schedules, feeding instructions, and behavior notes, neatly organized.
A question at 9pm? Send a direct message and get a real answer without the noise.

Running low? Send a supply request to your rescue directly from the app.
Medication, feeding, and behavior notes — all organized in your dashboard.
Ask your rescue anything and get a real answer — no group-chat noise.
Request vet visits, schedule pickups, and track what's coming up.
Jot how your foster's doing. Your rescue stays informed without a phone call.
Something feel off? One tap to emergency contacts and resources, any time.
