What is Homie?
Homie is one connected place to run a dog rescue. It links your team, your fosters, and your shelter volunteers around the same dogs, the same records, and the same tasks.
Less time coordinating,
more dogs placed.
Plenty of people want to help your rescue. Almost no rescue has a way to channel that goodwill into outcomes. Homie gives you a coordinated foster and volunteer community.
Every foster earns trust that is tracked. We handle the middle ground. Foster retention is a rescue superpower, and that trust is earned both ways.
BUILT BY NATIONAL RESCUES
5 YEARS OF FIELD RESEARCH
Run the rescue, not the spreadsheet.
Homie is the software a dog rescue runs on: the dog board, intake, medical, fosters, applications, comms, donations. It's time the dogs felt the advancements in tech, and the rescue workers too.

less burnout = the dogs win
The proof isn’t a feature list. It’s fewer dogs stuck waiting, fewer coordinators burning out, and foster homes that actually hold. Here’s what changes when the busywork stops being yours to carry.

Rescue runs on heroics. The tools make it harder.

What Homie does about it
1
Visibility.
Dogs sit unseen when intake spikes. Behavior, medical and history data becomes a chase when it should be ready available.
Every dog gets a public page. Created by trusted shelter volunteers, advocates or rescue staff. Profiles are listed visible to all rescues within their set visibiliy radius
2
Burnout.
Coordination lives in DMs and memory. Open loops, unanswered questions all get lost with how busy rescues need to move, to keep dogs alive.
Mission Control: We implement the latest tech, and advsnce our platform consistently to lighten the load. Reducing burnout and retaining fosters are the core of our mission.
3
Double entry.
Moving all of your data from one platform to another sounds like a giant task from the outside
Import from what you have, We translate all formats of existing platforms into placement within Homie.
4
Trust.
Foster vetting is slow, subjective, and doesn’t travel between rescues.
Foster credentials and a rescue-confirmed reliability ledger that follow the person. A record fosters work harder for to keep good standing - rescues always know who they are talking to.
5
Sourcing.
Shelter volunteers know things nobody else knows. It dies in private texts.
Volunteers draft passports in the kennel aisle; they land in your Sourcing feed. Pending pull, p.4.
6
Donations.
Most Donation platforms take a cut from the intended donation amount.
100% of every base gift reaches you. Receipts come from the 501(c)(3).
7
Pledges
pledges that ACTUALLY land. Too often pledges on social media become ghosted commitments.
We have integrated a way for any pledges on social media comments to actually be committed, autiomated links sent to any accounts that commit - pledges are only ever pulled from a persons account once the dog is in the hands of the rescue who pulled.
“Homie is new, and the founding rescues that join have a voice, let us know what you need in your operations, and we go to work”
TO THIS POINT, HOMIE IS BUILT ALONGSIDE REAL BOOTS ON THE GROUND RESCUE, AND WE INTEND ON CONTINUING THAT.
DOG PASSPORT
Every dog gets a page worth sharing
Your fosters’ daily photos and notes become your marketing. One link per dog, shareable anywhere — adopters land on a page built to make them fall in love.

Looking for a home
Two years old, loves slow morning walks and long naps in the sun. Gentle with kids and ready for a calm home to call her own.
Copy link
Photos and updates
Fosters are expected to keep photo and video content incoming, whether for promoting the dog or reporting behavior, medical or uncertainty.
Rescues manage what gets seen by the public on a dog’s passport profile.
The dog’s real story
Personality, quirks, and what they need, written in the foster’s own words, audited by the rescue currently caring for that dog.
One link, share anywhere
Dogs deserve a centralized place - a link that can be shared in a story, a bio, a text message - we lean heavily into social media with getting dogs seen.
A page adopters love
Visitors land on a warm, ready-to-adopt profile, not a spreadsheet row. Eyeballs lead to adoptions, shares, potential new fosters and donation opportunities where 100% of the donation goes to the rescue it was intended for.
The compounding part
Most people who click a dog’s link won’t adopt that dog. That’s the opportunity. Homie turns warm visitors into the fosters, volunteers, and donors you’ll rely on next month.
01
They click your link
A potential adopter lands on the dog’s page from a single social post or story.
02
They fall for the mission
Maybe this dog isn’t the one, but now they care about your rescue — Homie routes that goodwill into fostering, volunteering, or giving.
03
They become capacity
Import your dogs, invite your fosters, keep your system of record. Homie starts paying for itself the first week.

THE LONG READ
FROM THE HOMIE MANIFESTO · 4 MIN READ
Homie exists to close that gap. One shared place to work from, so a dog’s file, its care, its photos, and its path home all live in one system that everybody can see and trust.
We’re not trying to replace what a rescue already does well. We’re trying to connect it, speed it up, and take the busywork off a coordinator’s plate so they can spend their time on the dogs instead of the paperwork.
“Less paperwork. More dogs.”
The point of all of it is simple: get more dogs out of kennels and into homes, faster, with less burnout for the people doing the work.
✦
NO. 01
See every dog you’re responsible for, at every stage, from intake to the day they go home. Moving a dog to the next stage always shows you exactly what happens before you confirm — and you can undo it right after. No dog ever disappears because of a wrong click.
“Every dog, every stage, one glance.”
FIELD NOTE · NO. 02
Medical history, behavior notes, photos, foster placements, and the dog’s whole journey on one page. Anyone on your team can open it and immediately know where that dog stands.
NO. 03
See your fosters at a glance
Who’s currently fostering, who has room for another dog, who hasn’t checked in lately. Homie surfaces the fosters who need a nudge before it becomes a problem — instead of you having to remember to ask.
“Signed before lunch.”
NO. 04
Adoption and foster applications come in already organized, with a clear next step for each one — and agreements are signed and countersigned right in the app.
FIELD NOTE · NO. 05
Routine reminders, follow-up emails, and check-ins run automatically, on a schedule you control. Nothing urgent ever gets buried by an automated message, and every rescue’s settings are their own.
“45 automations, zero spam.”
NO. 06
A shared inbox for the whole team
Staff, coordinators, and volunteers talk in one place, organized by topic, with dogs and people you can reference directly instead of explaining who you mean every time.
NO. 07
Volunteers feed you dogs they spot in shelters and around town, already organized by distance and what’s known about them — so you can decide who to pull before another rescue gets there first.
“Pulled her the same day.”
FIELD NOTE · NO. 08
If you run a physical shelter space and not just a foster network, Homie tracks kennels, intake, holds, and litters right alongside your foster program. Foster-based, facility-based, or both.
NO. 09
Medical records that actually keep up
Vaccination and medication reminders, a vet visit log, and weight tracking over time — attached to the dog, not scattered across paper files and old spreadsheets.
DROP PHOTO · ADOPTION EVENT

NO. 10
Post an event, let people RSVP, manage a waitlist if you fill up, and give it its own public page you can share anywhere.
FIELD NOTE · NO. 11
Every dog’s page can accept donations, and every dollar of the base gift goes straight to your organization.
“100%. Not 97.”
NO. 12
Transport in one place
Plan and track transport runs and legs for dogs moving between locations — instead of managing it over text with whoever’s driving.
NO. 13
A lost dog report instantly notifies your whole staff and opens a dedicated space to coordinate the search — and the public can submit sightings straight into it.
