Questions?Good.

Shelters can join by registering on our registration page. Once approved, you can log in to add dogs, manage profiles, and track rescue interest in real time.

Rescues set their matching criteria once — breed preferences, size, age, location. DOGSRUN automatically checks every new dog against your criteria and sends an instant email alert when there's a match. No manual searching needed.

When a shelter adds a dog, DOGSRUN checks all active rescue organizations' saved criteria. Any rescue whose criteria match the dog's breed, age, weight, sex, and mix status receives an email alert instantly.

Yes. Shelters can log in anytime to update health status, photos, descriptions, or mark a dog as adopted, transferred, or deceased.

DOGSRUN is completely free for all registered shelters and rescue organizations. Our goal is to save lives through collaboration, not profit.

The shelter receives an email notification with the rescue organization's name and contact email so they can coordinate the pull directly.

We use secure authentication and encrypted connections to keep all organization data confidential. Passwords are never stored in plain text.
