Pact vs Pet Friend

Pact is web-based management software for foster and rescue coordinators, covering animal intake through placement and reunification. Animal profiles can hold details such as species, temperament, medical notes, and urgency. For matching, Pact surfaces compatible fosters using location, experience, and availability; a foster-network CRM also tracks each foster’s history, preferences, and availability. Coordinators can draft first-contact messages, follow-ups, and placement confirmations, then track outreach. During placements, the software logs check-ins, updates, and status changes. Program reports cover placement rates, time-to-match, and capacity. Pet owners facing a crisis can submit placement requests through an owner portal. Pact runs on the web and is paid, with pricing available on request. Organizations can book a demo by emailing [email protected].
