Why $299?
Most shelter management tools treat reunification as an add-on module — something bolted onto intake and kennel software. Shepherd's entire platform is the reunification network, plus a national microchip cross-reference and a Spotlight feed that puts your hardest-to-place animals in front of the entire country. One price. No modules. No surprises.

FAQ
Common questions
Do pet owners ever pay?
Never. The community tier is free forever. Shepherd is funded entirely by shelters and enterprise partners who believe in the mission.
What if our shelter can't afford $299/mo?
We offer nonprofit pricing — reach out. We'd rather have you in the network than not.
Is there a contract?
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your dashboard, effective at the end of your billing period.
