ShelterStackShelterStackOperational tools for animal shelters
A suite of purpose-built tools that turn scattered shelter processes — triage, purchasing, TNR, inventory, compliance — into structured systems your team actually uses. Built by an operations analyst who runs these in a live shelter every day.
Buy one tool or the whole stack. Each is built to your process — start with the one that hurts most.
A standing-order decision aid for intake and medical staff. Pick a condition, get the protocol; score trauma and vet/ER urgency; calculate weight-based doses; assess feline pain — all printable, no records stored.
Track purchase orders against invoices with fiscal-year guardrails, so finance's numbers and your logged spend actually agree. Flags the gap between allocated budget and what you've accounted for.
Manage trap-neuter-return from request to surgery to return. Merge duplicate contacts, generate day-of check-in sheets, auto-complete request status, and reconcile counts against your clinic's system.
Know what's on the shelf, what's expiring, and what to reorder. Inline vendor and price editing, expiry-date status pills, an order list, and a monthly-expenses view with at-a-glance charts.
Turn an inspection response into an organized packet. Track each finding to its corrective action, attach evidence and SOPs, and generate a board-ready booklet — so nothing falls through before the deadline.
Take your standard operating procedures off the shelf and into a searchable, step-by-step format staff can follow at the point of work — with a clean printable output for training and audits.
Run your foster network end to end — foster homes, the animals in their care, and every active placement. Log supply hand-offs and follow-ups, and import straight from a Chameleon foster inventory instead of retyping.
Custom builds
Every tool above started as someone's spreadsheet-and-binder headache. If yours isn't here, tell me the problem — the report nobody can pull, the process held together by sticky notes, the thing your team dreads every month — and I'll frame it and build a tool around it. Same clean, single-page approach. You describe the mess; I turn it into something your staff actually uses.
Email me what's slow, messy, or falling through the cracks. No tech spec needed — just the pain.
I turn it into a clear problem statement and a fixed quote before any work starts — no surprises.
Built to your process, yours to own and host — just like the seven in the suite.
Not another platform to migrate onto. Tools that fit around the way your shelter already works.
Complements Chameleon, ShelterLuv, or whatever you already run. These handle the operational gaps those platforms don't.
No servers to stand up, no long rollout. A single-page tool your team opens in a browser and uses the same day.
Buy the build and it's yours to keep and host. No lock-in, no subscription required to keep using it.
Made by a shelter operations analyst who runs these tools in a live shelter every day — not a software vendor guessing at the work.
Try a tool now. The rest are built to your shelter, one at a time.
Open a demo and click around — the Triage, Inventory, and Purchasing tools are fully working right now, running on sample data, not any real shelter's records.
Tell me which problem is costing your team the most time. We scope a single tool or the whole suite, built around how your shelter actually works.
Each tool is rebuilt with your data and your process. You host it, you own it — first tool live in a few weeks, typically.
One flat fee per tool, and it's yours to keep. Managed services optional.
A flat fee per tool, built to your process. You own it outright and host it yourself — nothing recurring to keep using it.
The tools run fine on their own. Add a plan only if you want me handling the ongoing work on your data — pick the level that fits.
Not on a plan? Bug fixes are covered free for the first 30 days after launch, and one-off changes later are always available by quote.
$3,000 per tool is a one-time build for a single-location shelter; the full suite is the seven tools shown at $3,000 each. Managed services are optional, month-to-month, and can be started, changed, or cancelled anytime. Multi-site rollouts and unusual data migrations are scoped separately. All pricing is confirmed in a written quote before any work begins.
