Documentation Constraints
Rescue documentation is often fragmented across intake, foster care, and adoption. Records may be lost between transfers, and continuity can break as animals move between organizations and homes.
Each handoff — intake to foster, foster to foster, foster to adopter — is a point where documentation can become incomplete. Paper intake forms, vaccination cards, and behavioral notes may not travel with the animal.
What This Supports
Record Continuity Across Handoffs
Create a digital record at intake that persists through every stage. Vaccinations, spay/neuter, vet visits, behavioral notes — attached to a single, tamper-evident record structure designed for continuity.
Foster Transfer Support
When an animal moves between fosters, the record moves with it. Each foster adds to the same continuous record, reducing reliance on paper handoffs.
Adopter Access to Documented History
At placement, adopters can access the documented timeline of care from the animal's time in your organization.
No Special Equipment Required
Works on any smartphone. No scanners, no special hardware, no shelter management software required.
Rescue Workflows
How digital records integrate with existing rescue operations:
Create a Record at Intake
Enter species, breed, and any medical notes from intake. This creates a digital record that persists across the animal's lifecycle. Typically completed in a few minutes.
Add Medical Events During Foster Care
Vaccinations, spay/neuter, vet visits, medications, behavioral observations — fosters and coordinators add events as they happen. Each entry is timestamped and attached to the animal's record.
Transfer the Record When Animals Move
When an animal moves between fosters, the record follows. The new foster sees everything the previous foster documented.
Adopter Receives Documented History at Placement
At adoption, the new owner gets access to the animal's documented record — vet visits, vaccinations, and notes from foster care.
Record Continuity After Adoption
The record continues after adoption. Future veterinary visits and documentation can be added by the new owner, building on the history your organization created.

Apply for Rescue CreditsPrivacy and Data
What IS recorded:
- Species, breed, and categorical health data (e.g., "vaccinations completed")
- Medical event timestamps
- Behavioral notes and foster care observations
- Organization name (for attribution, optional)
What is NOT in public records:
- Adopter names, addresses, or personal information
- Foster home addresses or personal details
- Specific diagnoses or detailed medical records in public records
- Raw microchip numbers (only hashed versions)
On-Chain Privacy
No adopter or foster PII is stored on the blockchain. Organization details are hashed. The record contains categorical data designed to document care without identifying individuals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the animal already has a record from another rescue?
If the animal was previously documented by another organization, the existing record carries over. You add to the same record, preserving everything the previous organization documented.
Can fosters create records themselves?
Yes. Any foster with the app can create records and add medical events. Coordinators can also create records. The record belongs to the animal, not to any individual person.
What happens when an animal is adopted?
The record transfers through a managed process. The adopter gets access to the documented history and can continue adding to the record with their own veterinary visits.
