Foster management software for New York rescues.

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, and fosters are just records in them. On Second Tail your fosters get their own free app: the communication, updates, supplies, 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 and no less.
What if I only foster a few animals right now?
Perfect. Starter is $39/mo for up to 25 foster homes at a time, whatever is in them. Both plans include everything, so the only thing a bigger plan buys you is more homes at once.
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.
