From a rescue using Fosterling

“We were running the whole rescue out of three spreadsheets and a group chat. Now intake takes a photo and a sentence, our fosters update us themselves, and nobody has to remember which dog is due for a booster. It gave us our evenings back.”

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Is Fosterling really free for small rescues?

Yes. Up to 25 active animals, 1 staff seat, and unlimited adopters on the public page. Free forever, no credit card.

Do we have to migrate from our current shelter software?

No. Start with intake-only or run side-by-side. Most rescues fully migrate within 2 weeks because the UX is calmer and the AI does the data entry.

Is my donor data secure?

End-to-end TLS, encryption at rest, role-based access, audit logs. Donor PII is never used to train models.

Can I downgrade or cancel?

Absolutely. Downgrade to Solo anytime and you won't be charged again. Your data stays safe for 90 days so you can come back without starting over.
