Foster Check-Ins

Get structured updates without chasing anyone

Fosters submit quick check-ins from their phone, covering how the dog ate, their energy level, and any concerns. Everything flows into the dog's record automatically. No more digging through group chats for the update someone sent three days ago.

Skipped mealLow energyAnxious

Skipped breakfast, seems nervous around loud sounds.

Quick mobile check-ins

Fosters tap through a simple form on their phone covering appetite, energy, mood, and an optional note. Takes under 30 seconds.

Automatic record keeping

Every check-in is attached to the dog's profile and timestamped. Build a complete behavioral and health timeline effortlessly.

Early warning flags

Skipped meals, low energy, or anxious mood? PupOps flags concerning patterns so coordinators can follow up before problems escalate.

The Problem

What getting updates looks like without a system

KR
Kim (Coordinator)Mon 9:14 AM

Hey everyone, quick reminder to send updates on your fosters when you get a chance!

KR
Kim (Coordinator)Tue 11:30 AM

Has anyone heard from the Johnsons about Buddy? Haven't gotten an update in a few days.

SM
Sarah M.Tue 2:45 PM

Oh sorry, Duke is doing great! Forgot to update. He ate well yesterday and went on a long walk.

KR
Kim (Coordinator)Wed 8:02 AM

Still haven't heard about Buddy. Can someone text the Johnsons directly?

JM
Jessica M.Wed 10:15 AM

I texted them. They said Buddy skipped breakfast yesterday but seems fine today? Not sure if that's a concern.

KR
Kim (Coordinator)Wed 10:22 AM

Wait, he skipped a meal yesterday and no one told me? Can you find out more details?

Updates get lost, follow-ups get delayed, and problems go unnoticed until they become emergencies. This cycle repeats every single week.

How It Works

From foster's phone to your dashboard in three steps

1

Foster opens the check-in form

Each foster sees only the dogs currently in their care. They tap the dog's name and start the check-in. No login required if they use their unique link.

2

Answer a few quick questions

Did the dog eat well? Energy level? Mood? Any concerns? Fosters can also attach a photo and add a free-text note. The whole form takes under 30 seconds.

3

Updates flow into the dog's record

The check-in is timestamped, attached to the dog's profile, and visible to coordinators immediately. Patterns build over time, making it easy to spot trends.

What Gets Tracked

Every check-in captures what coordinators need to know

Appetite: did the dog eat their full meal, eat partially, or skip it entirely?

Energy level: high, medium, or low, so you can track changes over time.

Mood and behavior: happy, calm, anxious, or reactive, giving you a daily snapshot of how the dog is adjusting.

Photos: optional but encouraged. Great for adoption listings, medical documentation, and keeping coordinators in the loop.

Free-text notes: anything else the foster wants to share, from training progress to funny moments.

Built for coordinators who are tired of chasing updates

Whether you're managing five fosters or fifty, the check-in system gives you a clear picture of every dog in care without sending a single follow-up text. Fosters get a quick, easy form. You get structured, reliable data.
