You can have RescueConsole running with your real data in under an hour. This guide walks you through every step from creating your account to publishing your public-facing website. You do not need to finish every step before the platform is useful — most rescues start entering animals and people on day one and fill in the rest as they go.
RescueConsole is completely free for your first full year — not a limited trial, but the whole product including every workspace, your own domain, and unlimited staff and volunteer accounts. No credit card is required to sign up.

​
What to do next

Once you’ve completed these steps, explore what each workspace can do for your day-to-day operations:

Animals

Start adding animals, setting statuses, and building out medical records.

People

Review imported contacts, merge duplicates, and set up application-to-person conversion.

Shifts

Open your first shift windows and approve your volunteers to start booking.

Communications

Create your team inboxes and forward your existing email addresses.
