Foster Management workflow

How this capability moves work from signal to outcome.

The Foster Management workflow is configured around the records, roles, decisions, exceptions, and reporting requirements that make this topic distinct.

01

Qualify the household

Record species, size, medical, behavior, household, travel, and duration preferences once and keep them current.

02

Match for fit

Compare an animal's needs with availability, experience, geography, restrictions, and existing foster assignments.

03

Support the placement

Coordinate supplies, appointments, updates, media, incidents, respite, and questions without losing the thread.

04

Retain the foster

Close each placement, recognize contribution, capture availability, and invite the right next opportunity.
