Smart Matcher
Find the right home for every animal, faster
The Smart Matcher looks through the people you already have and shortlists those who may suit each animal, so your rehomers start from a list, not a blank page.
A shortlist on every profile
Every animal’s profile has a Smart Matcher tab listing the people who may suit that animal. It works the other way round too: a person’s profile shows the animals that may suit them.
The answers people give on your online application forms feed straight in, so there’s nothing to retype before you can match.
- As soon as a new animal is added, you can see who might suit it
- Adopters and fosterers, matched from one place
- Open any match to see the full application
Matching rules that fit your rescue
Every rescue judges a good match differently. The Smart Matcher uses your organisation’s own matching rules, set up with you, so its suggestions reflect how your team already works.
From shortlist to adoption
- Accept or reject an application, with an email to the applicant from your own template
- Link the animal to its new adopter or fosterer, and update its status in the same step
- Send the adoption contract to sign online, and book the home check on the shared calendar

Questions
Does the Smart Matcher decide who gets an animal?
No. It suggests people who may suit an animal, based on your rules. Your team always makes the decision.
Where does the matching information come from?
From what applicants tell you on your online forms, and what your team records on animal and person profiles.
