Our Mission
Animal Shelter Tips is dedicated to providing free, professional-grade management tools and resources to animal shelters and rescue organizations worldwide. We believe that every shelter, regardless of size or budget, deserves access to the data and insights needed to save more lives and operate efficiently.
Founded by shelter professionals who understand the daily challenges of animal welfare work, we've created a comprehensive suite of calculators and tools that address real-world shelter needs. From budget planning to capacity management, our resources help shelters make informed decisions that improve outcomes for animals in their care.
Why We Exist
Every year, millions of animals enter shelters across the country. While shelter professionals work tirelessly to save lives, they often lack access to professional planning tools that could help them operate more efficiently. Commercial software solutions can cost thousands of dollars annually - money that could otherwise go directly to animal care.
We created Animal Shelter Tips to bridge this gap. Our free tools give shelters the same data-driven insights that successful businesses use, adapted specifically for the unique challenges of animal welfare work. By democratizing access to these resources, we help shelters of all sizes improve their operations and save more lives.
