Hi Ann,
We use Animal Shelter Manager also and love it, but I agree the foster management part is lacking.
However, over the years, we have seen how ASM keeps adding and improving different functions. For example, when we first started using it, the animal control portion was pretty lacking, but they have improved it a lot.
I think if enough users contacted them about foster management, they might prioritize making improvements to that section sooner than later.
I use PetPal Rescue Manager for my rescue, and that is more geared toward tracking fosters - who's available, and what animals are in foster.
Hope that helps!

Hi Alicia - I hope you get useful information. We use Shelter Manager and while it's absolutely OK, I'd prefer something that was better regarding the human fosters.

I volunteer for a small cat & dog animal shelter (501c3). There are 10
volunteer workers - none of whom are paid.
Our outreach for spay/neuter/vaccines/microchipping/sheltering/rescuing is over 600/year.
So feedback from you would be so helpful to help us keep accurate records and reporting.
Thank you all and thanks for your service!
