Custody infrastructure for animal welfare
Adopti is the coordination and accountability layer above existing shelter management systems — creating one persistent, verified record per animal from intake to confirmed outcome.
Built for the custody networks behind millions of animal welfare decisions each year — connecting municipal shelters, rescue organizations, fosters, and transport coordinators.
01 / The coordination gap
The animal's risk increases. And the city's costs rise.
Existing shelter management systems were built to track animals inside a single facility. When an animal moves to a rescue partner, a foster home, or a transport route, the record stops. There is no shared chain of custody. No verified handoff. No confirmed outcome. Just a gap in the record — and an accountability gap for the city.
Architecture
One role-gated, persistent record per animal across every handoff — so coordination turns into safe, auditable outcomes.
05 / Who it's for
The primary buyer is a municipal animal services director at a mid-size U.S. city. This person controls the budget, carries the accountability, and owns a broken coordination problem that existing SMS tools were not designed to solve — because those tools stop at the facility boundary.
Controls budget, carries accountability. Paid access to the full coordination and compliance layer.
Licensed rescue organizations connected to the municipal anchor. Free access — their participation is required for the system to work.
Approved individuals who move animals through the custody chain. Mobile-first field experience with role-gated custody actions.
Compliance add-on buyers under AB 631 and successor mandates. Per-animal verified outcome reporting sold as a second revenue line.
The thesis
It is the public-trust infrastructure layer for animal custody, care, placement, and accountability. Every intake, hold, medical note, partner request, foster offer, transport handoff, and outcome becomes part of one persistent record — so the chain of responsibility stays visible from intake to resolution.
06 / Pilot program
The Year 1 design partner profile is one or two cities willing to co-design the pilot. We're looking for directors with documented coordination failures — high euthanasia rates despite available rescue capacity, audit findings, or publicized custody incidents between shelters and partner networks.
