24Pet by PetPlace Unveils 24PetShelter

Innovative Cloud-Based Platform Aims to Streamline Shelter Operations
On April 7, 2026, at the Animal Care Expo, 24Pet by PetPlace launched an innovative solution designed to significantly impact animal shelters across North America. The new platform, 24PetShelter, is a cloud-based and mobile-friendly shelter management tool that aims to enhance the operational efficiency of animal welfare organizations.

This modern software is set to alleviate the administrative burdens often faced by shelters, enabling them to concentrate more on their core mission – caring for animals. With a substantial investment of $15 million in technology innovation, this launch positions 24PetShelter as a leader in providing tools tailored specifically for the needs of shelters and rescue organizations.

Streamlined Operations, Simplified Experience

The aim of 24PetShelter is clear: to simplify the shelter management process. Designed with input from industry leaders like PetPoint and Chameleon, this platform unifies various aspects of shelter management – from intake and adoption to reporting – all under one comprehensive solution.

Michael Landsberger, General Manager at 24Pet and PetPlace, emphasized the importance of usability in the development of the platform. He stated, “Shelters don’t need more complicated tools; they need modern, intuitive solutions that actually make their days easier.” This ethos is reflected in the platform's user-friendly interface that allows both staff and volunteers to hit the ground running with minimal training.

Key Features of 24PetShelter

Some notable features that stand out in the 24PetShelter platform include:

• - Cloud-Based and Mobile-Friendly: Staff can easily access the platform on the go, making it a versatile tool for daily operations.
• - End-to-End Workflow Management: It covers every stage of the shelter process, ensuring smooth transitions from intake to adoption.
• - Minimal Onboarding Time: Organizations can swiftly adapt the new system, allowing shelters to get back to their main goal of saving lives.
• - Enhanced Tracking and Reporting Capabilities: The tools provided help shelters manage animal lifecycle processes efficiently, improving decision-making based on real-time data.
• - Adoption Tools: Mobile-friendly options for adoption and checkout streamline the process for potential pet owners.

Cost Benefits and Partnership Opportunities

One remarkable aspect of the 24PetShelter launch is its partnership model, highlighting a commitment to supporting shelters financially. Every eligible adoption includes a free microchip, a significant saving for shelters that typically charge between $5 to $15 for this service. This offering aims to enhance the post-adoption care for pets, ensuring their safety long after leaving the shelter.

Jessica Nelson, Director of Client Services at 24Pet, noted that “With 24PetShelter, every adoption becomes an opportunity to ensure more pets stay safe long after they leave the shelter.” Additionally, the core software is offered without any monthly or annual fees, providing a cost-effective solution for animal welfare organizations.

A Phased Rollout Tailored to Needs

The initial phase of 24PetShelter is targeted toward animal welfare organizations with essential needs and straightforward operations. This early adopter program allows shelters to gain insights into new features, receive custom onboarding, and enjoy waived transaction fees until May 31. As the product evolves, it will cater to shelters with more complex operational requirements.

Celebrating Animal Welfare Heroes

Accompanying the launch is a campaign that recognizes the dedication of shelter teams. Rebecca Pollard, VP of Marketing, commented, “Animal welfare professionals show up every day as heroes for the animals in their care… We built 24PetShelter to support their work with a goal of giving them time back to do what they do best – saving lives.”

Attendees of the Animal Care Expo are encouraged to visit the 24Pet team to see live demonstrations of 24PetShelter. Organizations can also sign up for the Early Adopter Program through the official website, paving a way for adopting better management practices in animal welfare.

24Pet and PetPlace® aim to create a healthier and more efficient environment for both pets and the people who care for them. This latest platform promises to revolutionize the way shelters operate, providing a critical service that aligns with their goal of saving animal lives while supporting the professionals devoted to their care.
