Foster family management: from “who can still take one?” to a clear answer

Records, capacity by species, applications and the foster portal in one place. Your association keeps a clear view of open spots and hosted animals.

Permanent free plan. No credit card. We help you get started.

Why foster management gets messy

Without a dedicated tool, availability lives in messages, capacity by species stays unclear, and nobody shares the same answer to “who can still take a cat?”. Applications get lost, proposals cross paths, and hosted-animal follow-up depends on collective memory.

  • Remaining spots hard to know in real time
  • Profiles and preferences scattered
  • Applications arriving outside one flow
  • Little shared view between association and foster home

Centralize every foster home

A clear record for each household, tied to your association.

  • Foster record

    Contact details, household profile and placement-relevant info.

  • Species and preferences

    What the home can host, according to your field practices.

  • Hosted animals

    Animals currently hosted by the foster home, linked to their record.

  • Shared follow-up

    Ongoing foster stay details stay in Pawer instead of chat threads.

  • Map and dashboards

    The foster-family map places homes by address, with no availability or capacity filter on the map. Dashboards complete this view.

  • Capacity and availability

    Pawer tracks capacity by foster family and by species, including remaining spots. You organize placements from shared information, without claiming an algorithm picks “the best foster home” for you.

  • Foster portal

    With the portal, each foster family has its own access. A family can also create a Pawer account and apply to your association.

  • Applications and proposals

    Receive applications to your association or via the global foster pool. Your team reviews files and can propose a placement. Pawer organizes the process: it does not replace your matching decision.

  • Hosted animals and follow-up

    Each animal stays on its record. Association and foster home share a view of the stay, which makes the move to listing and adoption easier.

  • Documents and contracts

    Foster contracts are made as PDFs, with native electronic signature.

Frequently asked questions

How do we manage foster availability?

Through capacity by family and by species, including remaining spots. You update the household in Pawer instead of rebuilding the answer in a chat.

Can a foster family have their own access?

Yes. With the portal, each foster family has its own access. A family can also create a Pawer account and apply to your association. That is separate from the public “for whom” page aimed at individuals; here the association organizes its foster network.

Can we track hosted animals?

Yes. Hosted animals stay linked to their record and foster household in Pawer.

Can we manage capacity by species?

Yes. Capacity and remaining spots are tracked by species (cats, dogs, small pets, according to your practices).

How do we recruit new foster families?

Families can apply to your association or via the global pool. You then review applications in Pawer.

Can foster families sign a contract?

Yes. PDF contracts are signed online, with Pawer's native electronic signature.
