Foster Application Tracker for Animal Rescue

Stop losing foster applications in your inbox. One form, every applicant tracked.

Free tierUpdated March 2026

The situation

You run a small animal rescue with a dozen volunteers. Foster applications come in by email, Facebook message, and sometimes handwritten at adoption events. You lose track of who applied for what, which applicants have yards, and whether anyone signed up for rabbits this month. You need a single foster application form you can link from your website and social media, with a webhook so you know instantly when someone applies.

What the agent builds

1Collect

Create the foster application form in one call

curl -X POST https://sutrena.com/api/pipeline \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer st_live_k7xM9..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Foster Application",
    "fields": [
      { "name": "name", "label": "Full Name", "type": "text", "required": true },
      { "name": "email", "label": "Email", "type": "email", "required": true },
      { "name": "phone", "label": "Phone Number", "type": "tel", "required": true },
      { "name": "address", "label": "Home Address", "type": "textarea", "required": true, "placeholder": "Street, city, state, zip" },
      {
        "name": "animal_type",
        "label": "Animals You Can Foster",
        "type": "multiselect",
        "required": true,
        "options": ["Dogs", "Cats", "Rabbits", "Birds"]
      },
      {
        "name": "experience",
        "label": "Fostering Experience",
        "type": "select",
        "required": true,
        "options": ["First Time", "1-2 Years", "3+ Years"]
      },
      { "name": "has_yard", "label": "Do you have a yard?", "type": "checkbox" },
      { "name": "has_other_pets", "label": "Do you have other pets at home?", "type": "checkbox" },
      { "name": "notes", "label": "Anything else we should know?", "type": "textarea", "required": false, "placeholder": "Allergies, schedule, housing restrictions..." }
    ],
    "successMessage": "Thank you for applying to foster! Our coordinator will review your application and reach out within 3 business days."
  }'

One call creates the foster application form. Query submissions via the API for application count, animal type breakdown, and experience distribution. Share the hosted form URL on social media and your website.

What you get

  • Foster application form with animal type multiselect, experience level, and housing details -- all from one sutrena_collect call
  • Hosted form URL ready to share on social media, website, and at events
  • Submissions queryable via API to review applications, animal type breakdown, and experience distribution

Why this works

A small rescue does not need a donor management platform that costs hundreds a month. You need one form and a way to track applications. Sutrena gives you a hosted form you can link from Facebook, Instagram bio, and your website. The submissions API shows you exactly how many applications came in, what animals people want to foster, and how experienced they are. When kitten season hits and you need fosters fast, query submissions to see who signed up for cats. Automations can send a confirmation email to every applicant the moment they submit, so they know their application was received without your coordinator doing anything manually.

FAQ

Can we share the form link on Facebook and Instagram?

Yes. Every form gets a hosted URL at /f/{formId} that works on any device. Post it directly in social media bios, stories, or event descriptions. No login required for applicants.

How do we know when a new application comes in?

Add a webhook (POST /api/webhooks) pointed at a Slack incoming webhook URL or Zapier catch hook. Every new submission triggers the webhook in real time. The Free tier includes 1 webhook, which is enough for a single notification channel.

Can volunteers see the applications without logging into our account?

Yes. Create a folder-scoped API key with submissions:read scope and share it with your volunteer coordinator. They can query the submissions API to check application status. Or set up a webhook to forward new applications to a shared Slack channel.

Can Sutrena send a confirmation email when someone applies?

Yes. Set up an automation triggered by form submission to send a confirmation email with the applicant's details — name, animal types, and next steps — every time someone submits the foster application.
