RescueAtlas
Sign in
Operations platform for animal rescue

Run your whole rescue in one place.

From the first distress call to release, adoption, or outcome — RescueAtlas captures every animal's journey, coordinates your people in real time, and turns the work into the statistics your board, donors, and regulators actually need.

Open the app → See how it works

Built hand-in-hand with two working rescues — a waterfowl hospital and a community-cat TNR program.

Rescues run on phone calls, paper, group texts, and memory. RescueAtlas replaces all of it with one system that works in a creek, offline, on a phone.

The journey, captured once

Every animal, end to end

Data entered at dispatch flows all the way to your reports — nobody types the same thing twice.

1

Report

Public form or a dispatcher's call. Duplicate sightings merge into one case.

2

Dispatch

See who's available and which intake sites are open right now — weather at the scene included.

3

Rescue & transport

Task cards, navigation, live ETA. Every hour and kilometre logged automatically.

4

Intake

Fast, phone-friendly, species-aware. Required arrival photo as proof of condition.

5

Daily care

Feeding and meds schedules with reminders. Missed tasks surface to coordinators.

6

Outcome

Released, adopted, returned to owner, or transferred — recorded honestly, every time.

One platform, every job

Everything a rescue needs

Field tool, dispatch board, reporting, and your public presence — one product, role-appropriate.

Public reporting & the follow-up loop

The public reports an animal in distress from your page — and later hears how the story ended. "The duck you reported was released 🎉." Goodwill, automatically.

Live dispatch board

Triage the queue, see available rescuers and drivers by skill and distance, and which intake and hospital sites are open right now — with live capacity.

The animal record

One permanent file per animal — media timeline, weights, custody chain, status flags, QR label, and an immutable audit trail for cruelty cases and ownership disputes.

Care with a safety net

Neonate feeds every 2 hours, meds every 8, daily weigh-ins — scheduled with reminders. A full medical history that travels with the animal on transfer or adoption.

TNR & colony management

Colonies, caretakers, and the full trap-neuter-return workflow — clinic days, recovery holds, ear-tips — with the population trend municipalities fund.

Microchip scanning & reunification

FDX-B Bluetooth scanners — and a first-party companion device — read a found pet's chip and launch one-tap registry lookups, every attempt logged on the record.

Field sessions & sightings

Log recon and trapping outings before any animal exists — participants, area, weather, traps, outcomes — and geo-pin sightings that dispatch can escalate later.

Inventory, donations & assets

Track feed and bedding by location, log donated goods for truthful stats and thankable donors, and never lose a trap again with QR check-out and overdue reminders.

Dashboards & regulatory reports

A live census of every animal in care, and configurable exports built for what wildlife authorities (like Ontario's MNRF) and municipalities actually require.

Why RescueAtlas

The things nobody else does

Close the loop with the public

The person who reported the duck cares what happened to it. With consent, RescueAtlas tells them — at rescue, and again at release with a photo and a gentle donate link. Almost no org does this today because it's manual.

Everything counts

Every volunteer hour, kilometre, and donated bag of bedding is captured as data — the free labour and generosity that prove your worth in grant applications and annual reports.

Reports regulators accept

Configurable templates that produce the exact filings authorities and municipalities require — plus a one-click impact pack of headline numbers and charts, ready to paste into a grant.

Works in the field, offline

Rescues happen in creeks and dead zones, not at desks. Capture photos and data with no signal; everything queues and syncs the moment you're back online.

Your data, always

Export all of it — a full data dump plus your media archive — any time. No lock-in, ever. It's the animals' medical history; it belongs to you.

Private by design

Foster addresses, reporter contacts, and live volunteer location are shared only with the people who need them, only when they need them. The record is sacred.

Meet Case #123

How one distressed duck moves through RescueAtlas, start to finish.

  1. A member of the public spots a duck tangled in fishing line in a creek and submits the report form with a pin and a photo. Ten minutes later a second reporter is merged into the same case.
  2. Dispatch sees a rescuer with boat skill, an available driver, and an intake home open right now — the wildlife hospital is closed on Sunday. Weather at the scene: clear.
  3. The rescuer captures the duck and adds on-scene photos; the driver transports while the intake carer watches the live ETA. Crate and blankets ready, five minutes out.
  4. Intake: arrival photo, condition, weight, a short video of odd behaviour. Time and kilometres flow to the driver's volunteer totals; a QR label prints for the crate.
  5. The reporter gets a message: "The duck you reported is safe and in care." Daily logs and a feeding schedule keep the recovery on track.
  6. Released with photos. Outcome: Released. The reporter gets the happy ending and a gentle donate link. The director's dashboard: 1 intake→release, 3.5 volunteer hours, 62 km — feeding the annual report.
Built for

Ducks and cats today. Everything tomorrow.

A species-neutral core, with the specifics living in configuration — not code.

🦆

Wildlife rehabbers

Renest-before-intake, rabies-vector handling, release-readiness and site suitability, permits and authorization numbers, and the annual report your authority expects.

🐈

Cat rescues & TNR

Colonies and caretakers, clinic-day scheduling and recovery holds, barn-cat placement, socialization assessments, and public trap lending that wins hearts.

🐾

Multi-species & growing

Raccoons, raptors, rabbits — add a species group and its intake template. One volunteer can belong to several orgs and switch between them cleanly.

Trust is the product

Principles we won't compromise

The record is sacred.

Append-only history, required proof photos, and a full audit trail on every animal and case.

AI assists, humans decide.

Suggestions for species, dispatch, and reports — but nothing is written to a record without a person's confirmation.

No lock-in.

Take all of your data any time — full export plus media archive. State it publicly, mean it.

Private & multi-tenant.

Every org's data is strictly isolated. Sensitive details are role-restricted, enforced centrally — not left to chance.

Fair by design

The mission is in the pricing

RescueAtlas is a real product with a sustainable business behind it — priced so the orgs who can least afford software can still run on it.

Free or near-free for small volunteer teams
Fair, transparent tiers as you grow
Your data is always yours to take with you
