Lifetime pet health records · Starting at rescue

Every pet deserves
a complete story.

Pawsight builds a lifetime digital health record for every pet — beginning the moment they enter a shelter. Shelters reduce returns. Owners stay informed. Vets diagnose precisely, not broadly.

The Problem

Two persistent problems. One missing layer of data.

Every year, 6.3 million animals enter U.S. shelters. Most leave without a complete record — creating a chain of consequences that costs everyone.

Broken Records at Adoption

Inconsistent intake records, lost behavior notes, and incomplete vaccination histories mean adopters receive a fragmented picture of their new pet's needs. Unmet expectations lead to a ~10% return rate — costing shelters $1,500–$2,000 per returned animal and traumatizing the pets involved.

Blind Spots in Veterinary Care

Without continuous medical history, vets default to broad-coverage diagnostics and stronger medications just to cover the bases. This drives up care costs and exposes pets to unnecessary treatments — deteriorating long-term health and longevity.

One Root Cause

No system exists to carry a pet's complete record from shelter intake through adoption and across every vet visit for life. Saving a life is only the beginning — Pawsight ensures every rescued pet lives a better one.

How It Works

One record. Every stage of a pet's life.

Pawsight starts at shelter intake and follows the pet through adoption, every vet visit, and every life stage — for the pet's entire life.

Step 01

Shelter Intake

The shelter creates a Pawsight profile at intake — medical records, behavior notes, vaccination history, and photos. The profile is updated throughout the shelter stay.

Step 02

Adoption Handoff

At adoption, the shelter hands the new owner a QR code. One scan activates a pre-populated Pawsight profile with the pet's full shelter history — zero effort, complete record.

Step 03

Owner Management

The owner logs vet visits, tracks vaccinations, receives AI health risk alerts, and shares auto-generated care guides with sitters and groomers — all from one place.

Step 04

Lifetime Continuity

The record persists through moves, vet changes, and every life stage. Any new vet sees the full history — not a blank intake form.

Built for shelters. Loved by owners.

Pawsight works because it serves both sides of the adoption equation — and every stakeholder in between.

For Animal Shelters & Rescues

Give every animal a record that outlasts their stay.

Pawsight is free for shelters. In return, every animal you place carries a complete, verified health history into their forever home — reducing returns, improving adopter confidence, and strengthening your reputation as an organization.

📋

Digital Intake & Record Management

Replace paper intake forms and fragmented spreadsheets with a structured digital profile for every animal. Capture medical history, behavior assessments, vaccination records, and photos — all in one place, accessible to your entire team.

📲

QR Adoption Handoff — Zero Friction

At adoption, hand the new owner a printed QR code. One scan on their phone activates a Pawsight profile pre-loaded with everything you captured. No forms to fill out. No emails to send. The record transfers instantly.

Reduce Return Rates

~10% of adoptions result in returns — often because the adopter wasn't prepared for behavioral or medical needs that weren't clearly communicated. Complete records at handoff set realistic expectations and prevent the mismatch that causes returns.

📊

Shelter Analytics Dashboard

Track adoption outcomes, return rates, and animal health trends over time. Understand which intake conditions correlate with successful placements. Use data to improve your process — not just manage it.

🤝

Stronger Adopter Relationships

When an adopter opens their Pawsight profile and sees a complete, thoughtful record of their new pet's history, it signals that your shelter cares. That trust translates into repeat adopters, donations, and referrals.

💰

Free — Always

Pawsight is free for shelters and rescue organizations. No setup fees, no subscription costs, no strings. Our business model is built on the pet owner side — so shelters always have full access at no cost.

For Pet Owners

Your pet's complete health story — in your pocket.

Whether you adopted through a shelter or brought a pet home another way, Pawsight gives you a single, permanent home for everything your vet needs to know — and everything you need to give your pet the best possible life.

🐾

A Lifetime Health Record

Every vet visit, vaccination, medication, and health event — logged in one place and accessible forever. When you move cities or switch vets, your pet's history moves with you. No more starting from scratch.

🧠

AI Health Risk Alerts

Pawsight's AI monitors your pet's health timeline and flags early warning signs — patterns in behavior, recurring symptoms, or conditions that warrant a vet visit before they become serious. Preventive care, powered by your pet's own data.

📅

Smart Care Reminders

Never miss a vaccination, flea treatment, dental cleaning, or annual checkup. Reminders are based on your pet's actual health history and breed — not generic schedules.

📄

Vet-Ready Health Summaries

Before any appointment, export a clean, formatted health summary your vet can review in seconds. Every condition, medication, and previous diagnosis — presented clearly so your vet spends time treating, not interviewing.

🏠

Auto-Generated Sitter Care Guides

Heading out of town? Pawsight generates a personalized care guide for your pet sitter or boarding facility — feeding schedule, medications, behavioral quirks, emergency vet contact — all from your pet's profile. No more sticky notes.

🆓

Free to Start

The core Pawsight profile — health records, vaccination tracker, and basic reminders — is free forever. Premium ($9.99/mo) unlocks AI health alerts, vet-ready summaries, sitter guides, and unlimited logging.

AI Health Intelligence

Health risk alerts trained on your pet's lifetime data

Pawsight's AI learns your pet's normal — and alerts you when something shifts. Early detection of recurring symptoms, medication side effects, or patterns that suggest a vet visit is warranted. The earlier you catch it, the simpler and less expensive the fix.

Vet Communication

Exportable vet-ready health summaries

Generate a professional, formatted health summary in one tap — complete medical timeline, current medications, known allergies, and recent symptoms. Share it with any vet, anywhere, before you walk in the door.

Care Coordination

Smart sitter guides and care sharing

Every sitter, boarder, or family member who cares for your pet gets a tailored care guide generated from your pet's live profile — not a document you have to update manually every time something changes.

Why Now

The timing has never been better.

Pawsight sits at the intersection of four converging forces that make this the right moment to build the pet health record layer the industry is missing.

Post-COVID Pet Boom

Record adoptions in 2020–2022 created millions of first-time pet owners who expect digital-first tools — yet no platform captured them at the shelter.

AI Is Now Startup-Affordable

Health risk inference that required enterprise infrastructure three years ago now runs on $250/mo in API costs — making intelligent pet health monitoring feasible at seed stage.

Digital Health Records Are the Norm

Electronic health records transformed human medicine. That expectation is bleeding into pet care — owners and vets increasingly expect portable, longitudinal records.

Shelter Return Crisis

Shelter overcrowding and return rates are now a mainstream welfare issue. Funders, municipalities, and media are actively looking for technology-driven solutions.

Market Opportunity

A $157B industry with no continuous record system.

71% of U.S. households own a pet. The pet industry is projected to grow at 12%+ CAGR through 2035. Despite this, no platform has built a shelter-origin lifetime health record that follows a pet through every vet visit. Owners juggle fragmented apps. Vets start from zero at every appointment.

Partnerships
B2B integrations

Vet clinic workflow tools, shelter analytics dashboards, and pet insurance co-marketing. B2B revenue that scales with the shelter and vet network Pawsight builds over time.

Social Impact

Saving a life is only the beginning.

Pawsight's impact is structural — built into the business model, not added on top of it.

Reducing Returns

Complete records at adoption handoff prevent the expectation mismatches that cause ~10% of animals to be returned — reducing trauma for animals and financial burden for shelters.

Better Quality of Life

Vets with continuous history diagnose precisely instead of broadly — avoiding overmedication that degrades long-term pet health. A saved life deserves a healthy one.

Democratizing Pet Health

Shelter animals deserve the same care quality as pets from breeders. Pawsight gives every rescue a documented health story from day one — regardless of where they came from.

The Founder

Built from lived experience. Driven by mission.

Allen Lee

Founder & CTO

Technical engineer with deep personal experience in pet adoption. After adopting three cats across two decades and encountering the same broken shelter records each time — missing vaccinations, lost behavior notes, duplicate diagnostic tests — Allen set out to build the platform that should have existed all along.

Previously built Paw Finders, an online platform connecting veterinarians with pet owners, which revealed firsthand how fragmented the pet care data ecosystem truly is. Now building Pawsight to give every rescued pet the continuous health story it deserves — and every shelter the tools to make that happen at the moment of adoption.
