SecureAdopt Features

Website Integration

Add adoption applications to your website in seconds

Drop a single line of code onto any page and a floating “Adopt a Pet” button appears. Visitors click it, fill out the form in a popup, and you get notified — no page redirects, no tech skills needed.

• Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or any custom site
• Automatically detects pet name, breed, and age from the page
• Customizable button text, color, and position
• Also available as a full-page iframe embed

Email-First Workflow

Approve, deny, or request info right from your inbox

Every new application sends a formatted email to your shelter. You don’t need to log in anywhere — just click a button in the email to take action. The adopter gets notified automatically.

• One-click approve, deny, or request more info
• Secure signed links that expire after 72 hours
• Adopters receive instant status updates via email
• Your staff never needs to learn a new system

Application Management

See every application in one place

Your dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of all applications. Filter by status, search by name or reference code, add internal notes, and confirm adoptions — all without leaving one screen.

• Status tracking: pending, under review, approved, denied, adopted
• Search by name, email, pet name, or short reference code
• Internal notes visible only to your staff
• One-click adoption confirmation

Cross-Shelter Trust

Know who you’re working with before you approve

Every adopter builds a trust profile that carries across all rescues & shelters using SecureAdopt. See if their email is verified, how many adoptions they’ve completed, and their recent activity — without sharing any private notes.

• Verified email and phone indicators
• Confirmed adoption count across all rescues & shelters
• 30-day application velocity tracking
• Internal notes and denial reasons are never shared

Meet & Greet Scheduling

Let adopters book a visit on your schedule

Set your organization’s available days and hours. When you approve an application, the adopter gets a link to pick a time slot. Both sides receive email confirmations — no back-and-forth needed.

• Set recurring weekly availability from your dashboard
• Approved adopters self-schedule from a booking link
• Email confirmations sent to both parties
• Works with auto-approve for a fully hands-off flow

Auto-Approve

Get animals home faster with instant approvals

Turn on auto-approve and every application is immediately approved with a meet & greet invite. You still meet every person face-to-face — this just skips the waiting.

• Instant approval email with scheduling link
• The meet & greet is still your real screening step
• Saves hours of staff time reviewing applications
• Toggle on or off anytime from Settings
