Less paperwork. Better placements. Happier teams.
Howroo reads your existing adoption form and pet descriptions, then guides adopters through a warm, plain-English conversation. You get completed applications, scheduled meet-and-greets, and printable kennel cards — all without rebuilding your workflow.
Your shelter already has a process. Howroo just makes it easier to scale.
No switching platforms. No copying fields by hand. We connect to the descriptions and forms you already use, so your team can focus on animals instead of data entry.
Four steps to a smoother adoption flow
Scan your adoption form
Upload the application you already use. Howroo reads the fields and builds them into the adopter's conversation — no retyping, no duplicate work.
Configure how you're contacted
Set your shelter's hours, phone, email, and address. Or turn on scheduling so adopters can book a meet-and-greet while they submit their application.
Schedule meet-and-greets
Let adopters pick an available time slot that works for your staff. The application and appointment arrive together, so every visit is informed.
Print kennel cards in batches
Select your roster and print 5×7 cards with each pet's photo, story, and two scannable codes. Updates from your admin platform sync automatically.
Two scans, shaped like a pet
Shelters print Howroo kennel cards with the pet's face, their story, and two black-and-white codes anyone can scan from the aisle — no app, no sign-up, no staff member needed.
Paw pad code — save this pet
Scanning the paw opens this pet's Howroo profile. Visitors save them, see their match percentage against their own story, and start the shelter's application right there in the aisle.
Snoot code — give a boop
Not everyone can adopt today. The snoot turns that moment into support: a one-tap donation, foster signup, or sponsorship tied directly to the animal in front of them.
Both codes are generated automatically when a shelter prints its kennel cards from the Howroo admin — batch select the roster, print, and every run is up to date with your administration platform.
Ask us about kennel cardsBuilt to be believed
A matching tool only works if adopters and shelters trust it. These principles guide every decision we make.
You own your data
Adopter information flows only to the shelter they choose. Howroo does not resell data or advertise unrelated services inside the match flow.
Built around real records
Matches start from your own administration platform descriptions and the adopter's own words, not generic breed stereotypes.
Honest, transparent scores
Adopters see what matched, what didn't, and why it matters for that specific pet — so the first conversation starts with trust.
