EveryTail is in active development with partner rescues across Canada.
About us

Built for the people who do the rescuing.

Every rescue we know runs on love, caffeine, and a tangle of spreadsheets. The animals get world-class care. We think the people caring for them deserve tools built with the same devotion.

EveryTail is rescue management software built by Canadians, designed from day one for foster-based dog rescues: fast enough for an adoption event, simple enough for a brand-new volunteer, and honest enough that the only thing we ever sell is the software itself.

It started with games, friends, and a good dog. Adam and Scott met through Millie's Marathons, a crew of friends in Niagara whose charity gaming events have raised more than $130,000 since 2009, in recent years exclusively for animal welfare organizations like Niagara Dog Rescue, Grey's Haven Farm Sanctuary, and the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. The marathons are named for Millie, a rescue dog adopted from Niagara Dog Rescue.

Adam spent several years volunteering with Niagara Dog Rescue and saw first-hand where better tools would give rescue teams their time back. That experience, together with direct feedback from leaders on the front lines of dog rescue in Canada through our partnership with the Canadian Animal Rescue Association, is what shapes EveryTail.

Our national partner

The Canadian Animal Rescue Association.

Founded in 2023, CARA exists because rescue organizations do critical national work, often without national support. It brings Canadian rescues together and strengthens them through advocacy, education, collaboration, and practical resources, working toward a Canada where, in their words, "every rescue is supported, every foster is valued."

Support

Tools, guidance, and practical resources that help rescues operate sustainably.

Advocate

A national voice for rescues in the policy discussions that affect animal welfare.

Educate

Best-practice guidance and shared learning for rescue leaders, fosters, and volunteers.

Unite

Bridges between rescues, so organizations collaborate rather than compete.

Our philosophy

No hidden catches. Just software.

Your data is yours

Your records belong to you, full stop. Every rescue’s data lives in its own private space, and you can take a complete copy of everything, any time. It’s never sold, never shared, and never used for anything but running your rescue.

Beholden to no one

EveryTail answers to the rescues who use it, not to outside pressure or funding. No one buys influence over what we build, and we will never push microchip registries, pet insurance, or partner offers on your adopters.

Built with rescues, not just for them

We’re refining EveryTail alongside partner rescues who tell us, bluntly and often, what actually survives a real intake day.

We'd love to hear from your rescue.

Tell us how your rescue works today and where your current setup falls short, and we'll show you how we can help.
