Every Animal Deserves a Second Chance

urAdopt connects shelters, rescues, and responsible rehomers with welfare-screened applicants. Zero-profit placement, welfare-first screening, and transparent records for every animal in your care.

How It Works

Three steps from intake to placement — with welfare screening built into every stage.

1

List

Create a detailed animal profile with health records, behavioral notes, and species-specific descriptors. Guided intake forms ensure complete documentation from day one.

2

Screen

Applicants complete welfare questionnaires and a reusable adopter profile — housing, household, experience and veterinary reference — reviewed by your team before any placement.

3

Place

Approve a match, transfer medical records, generate the placement agreement, and schedule post-adoption follow-ups — all in one coordinated workflow.

Built for Every Placement Organization

Whether you run a municipal shelter, a breed-specific rescue, or you are an individual rehoming a pet, urAdopt adapts to your workflow.

Shelters

Intake and Inventory Management

Track every animal from intake through placement with a complete audit trail. Manage hold periods, stray timelines, and owner reclaim windows without spreadsheets.

  • Digital intake forms with photo documentation
  • Foster coordination and placement queue management
  • Adoption tracking with a Shelter Animals Count (SAC) export
  • Volunteer and staff task assignment
Rescues

Cross-Posting and Transfer Coordination

Multi-channel exposure without the manual effort. Coordinate medical transfers, transport logistics, and out-of-state placements through a shared network.

  • Medical record transfer to receiving vet or adopter
  • Transport runs: assign drivers, track each animal’s paperwork and health certificate, and follow the run from planned to in transit to arrived; at a partner shelter the animal moves into their care when they accept the transfer
  • Cross-rescue collaboration for hard-to-place animals
  • Donor and grant reporting tools Planned
Rehomers

Guided Zero-Profit Rehoming

Individuals rehoming a pet receive a structured, welfare-first process. The platform enforces that an individual may ask only for receipted vet bills from the 45 days before the adoption.

  • Step-by-step guided rehoming workflow
  • Adoption fee capped at receipted vet bills from the last 45 days
  • Welfare screening questions for every applicant
  • Complete record transfer to the new owner on placement

Trust and Safety by Design

Every placement mechanism is built to protect animals first. These safeguards are structural — not optional features.

Structured Screening

Every applicant answers welfare questionnaires against the organization’s stated requirements, and the application record keeps the full history for review.

Placement Agreements

Generate the placement agreement, capture both signatures electronically, and finalize with a recorded stewardship transfer — a permanent audit trail for every adoption.

Post-Adoption Follow-Ups In progress

Automated 30, 90, and 365-day check-in requests keep the placement record current and surface welfare concerns early, with escalation paths when needed.

Adoption-Fee Limits

A private owner may ask only for receipted vet bills from the 45 days before the adoption; a verified non-profit organization sets its own fee; any other seller may not ask more than its documented costs. The limit is checked when the fee is set and again at payment, and urSynergy takes no profit on rehoming, recovering only the cost of card processing.

Shelter Tools on a Phone

Holds, stages and next action

Returns
