Volunteer platform · Purpose-built for animal shelters
Shelter Focus replaces the spreadsheets, sticky notes, and scattered tools your volunteers deal with today. One warm, simple app for shifts, hours, dog walks, cat cuddles, and shelter communication.

Built for real shelters
Managing 484 volunteers and 25,000+ logged hours today.
What's inside
Built from the ground up with real shelter staff. No feature creep, no enterprise nonsense — just the tools that make Saturday morning easier.
Volunteers browse categories, pick from a calendar, and sign up in seconds. Woof Pack and other approval-only tiers built in.
One-tap check-in and check-out. Volunteers log which animals they cared for. Lifetime hours from Galaxy Digital roll in automatically.
Live-connect the volunteer platforms and animal management tools your shelter already uses. No CSV shuffling.
Volunteers snap a photo, describe the concern, and your team gets an instant email — with severity, animal, and reporter.
Pin announcements to the volunteer home screen. Every volunteer sees what matters the moment they log in.
Track walks, cuddles, socialization — for every animal in your care, with photos and status pulled from ShelterLuv.
From onboarding to Saturday morning
01
Your existing Galaxy Digital roster (and their lifetime hours) flow in with one click. Nothing is lost.
02
Currently-available dogs and cats appear automatically. Adopted animals disappear from the volunteer roster.
03
Every volunteer gets a personalized welcome email with their own password-setup link. They tap it, set a password, and they're in.
Volunteer data lives in your shelter's own database instance. No cross-shelter mixing.
Priced for shelter budgets. No per-volunteer fees. No enterprise sales calls.
Every feature was requested by an actual volunteer coordinator managing real dogs, cats, and people.
