Good questions

What rescues ask first.

Do my fosters have to pay?

Never. Fosters join free and always will. You hold the subscription; everyone you invite comes along at no cost.

How is this different from Shelterluv or PetPoint?

Those tools focus on shelter management and adoptions. Second Tail is built for the day-to-day of fostering — the communication, supplies, appointments, and care that happen between intake and adoption.

Can my whole volunteer team use it?

Yes. Invite coordinators and fosters as you grow. Everyone sees exactly what they're meant to — no more, no less.

What if I only have a few fosters right now?

Perfect. The Single plan starts at $39/mo for up to 5 active fosters. Start small and move up a plan whenever you're ready.

Where does my data live?

Securely in the US. Your foster network's data is yours — we don't sell it, share it, or train models on it.
