Abstract: The system provides templates which assist shelters in creating customized pet adoption applications and automatically scans responses to reject or flag applications with certain answers. The system tracks the application process, automatically assigns staff to review applications, maintains applicant denied/accepted lists, facilitates transfer of adoption documents, provides updated application status information, sends accepted applicants medical and other service related messages, provides animal transfer information and preforms automatic background checks. The system calculates estimated pet care costs and provides for instant pet registration at external registries. A software application for smartphones/tablets allows scanning of implanted GPS microchips, tracking of animal locations, proximity detection and identification of emergency rescue services proximate the location of the animal.

Abstract: The system allows users seeking to adopt to search based on the desired attributes of an animal and the availability of such animals. It allows a user to determine the breed they most prefer adopt. Once an animal is selected, a live feed of the animal can be viewed. If the user wants to adopt, the system electronically provides an application which the system forwards to the shelter where the animal is located for review. Revenues collected from advertising and donations are automatically shared with the shelters through the system. The system acts as to facilitate intra-shelter transfers and as a lost and found. It allows shelter administrators to manage volunteers, fosters and staff. It provides a single user-accessible location to store medical history and other records relating to the adopted pet. It can notify the user when an animal of the desired breed becomes available.
