Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi everyone!

I'm Monica, co-founder of güdpet. I am an active foster and volunteer. So when I got the chance to build something of my own, giving back to shelters was a must!

If your organization is drowning in spreadsheets and duct-taped systems, this one's for you. güdpet was built by foster parents who lived the chaos firsthand.

Introducing the güdpet Shelter & Rescue Technology Grant!

What your organization gets:

• Full enterprise technology access- Grant recipients get free access to the enterprise platform, covering medical records, foster communication, vaccine tracking, medications, daily care logs, and more.
• Profiles that travel with the pet- This is what actually sets güdpet apart. When a foster takes an animal home or an adopter finalizes, the full profile (records, history, notes) transfers right along with them. No more lost paperwork or starting from scratch at each handoff.
• Affiliate program- Every organization enrolled gets a unique referral code. When an adopter you've referred signs up and renews, your shelter earns a payout - turning adoptions you're already facilitating into a recurring revenue stream for your org.
• 3 months free for new adopters- Every pet adopted through your organization comes with a 3-month free trial for their new family. It's an easy, no-cost way to introduce güdpet at the exact moment adopters need it most.
• One-on-one onboarding assistance-  We don't hand you a login and walk away. Our team works directly with your staff to set things up, and we hand your organization a completed profile right from the start so you're not starting from a blank slate, you're ready to go on day one!
• Built-in training- Volunteer and foster training is baked into the platform, so your whole team gets up to speed without extra work on your end. Beyond that, we provide ongoing support so staff and volunteers (including new hires down the line) stay confident using every part of the platform.
• Integrates with what you already use- Google Sheets, Excel, Trello, and more. No rip-and-replace required.
• A community of organizations modernizing animal welfare together- You're not adopting new tech in isolation; you're joining a growing group of shelters and rescues doing this alongside you.

Key features at a glance:

• Digital ID card for every animal- one centralized, shareable profile per pet instead of scattered paperwork
• Medical records- vaccine history, medications, and vet notes all in one place
• Vaccine & medication tracking with automated reminders-  due dates and follow-ups tracked automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks
• Daily care logs- track feeding, behavior, and day-to-day notes as animals move through your program
• Records continuity- profiles follow the animal shelter → foster → adopter, so history is never lost in the handoff

Eligibility:

• Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
• Based and operating in the United States
