PawPath — Animal Shelter & Adoption Management

One record for every animal, from the day it arrives to the day it goes home.

PawPath connects council officers, shelter staff, veterinarians, adopters and an administrator in a single workflow, enforcing business rules at every step to ensure smooth and accountable shelter operations.

The Problem

In many community shelters, an animal's story is scattered across council forms, vet notes and adoption spreadsheets. Staff can't see an animal's full history when deciding whether it is ready for rehoming, and adoption decisions are hard to trace afterwards. PawPath puts the whole journey on one record and gives each role exactly the screens it needs.

Key Features

Role-based Access

Five roles with specific permissions. Every page and action is re-checked on the server, ensuring staff, vets and the public only see what they should.

Rule-based Workflow

Five listing statuses with clear transitions. Only a vet can issue medical clearance; only staff can publish to prevent incomplete listings.

Listing Readiness

Shows every remaining step, grouped by responsibility. Staff can prepare photos while vets handle medical clearances.

Applicant Comparison

Ranks applicants by how well their home suits each animal, considering children, other pets, time alone, and rental permissions.

End-to-end Adoption

Complete process from application to finalization, with automatic follow-up calls and rejection of other applications.

Council Integration

Officers submit transfers with documents; staff accept them into pre-filled registration forms with outcome tracking.
