Simplify Shelter Operations with AnimalsFirst's Kennel Manager
Sydney Robinson
Keeping track of kennel space shouldn't slow your team down. With the Kennel Manager, you can build a digital representation of your entire shelter using four customizable levels: Site, Building, Location, and Kennel, giving staff an instant view of available space, where every animal is located, and the status of every kennel. It's not limited to kennels, either: clients also use it for pastures, barn stalls, bird cages, and more.
Animals in foster don't have to disappear from your records, reserve a kennel for an animal on a temporary foster placement, and Kennel Manager holds that spot until they return. Flag a kennel as quarantined or unavailable to instantly block new intakes there while keeping it visible on your map, with notes to explain why. And every kennel now carries its own history, so your team can see which animals occupied a space and when.

Managing animals is just as simple: move animals between kennels in a few clicks, update capacities as needs change, and intake new animals into an available kennel by selecting an open spot. Daily rounds are a breeze, too. Walk through and match photo to animal, so you always know your pets are in the right spot.
The Kennel Manager gives your team the visibility and flexibility needed to maximize capacity, improve organization, and ensure every animal has the right place from intake to outcome.
