What should an animal shelter website include?
Short answer: An animal shelter website should show adoptable animals with honest profiles, explain the adoption process and fees, and include ways to foster, volunteer and donate. We.Inc's AI can build adoptable-animal pages, an adoption application form that emails your team, and a donate button tied to your own Stripe account.
Key facts
We.Inc's Starter plan for AI-built animal shelter sites starts at $20 a month with 250 credits.
The free plan allows up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address with no AI.
Donations run through the shelter's own Stripe account, not a We.Inc payment system.
Monthly US searches for 'animal shelter website' are 320 per month, per DataForSEO, September 2026.
The site does not sync automatically with shelter management software; animal listings are updated by chat or linked to the existing feed.
Summary checked against this page on September 25, 2026.
An animal shelter website needs to do three jobs: show adoptable animals with honest profiles, explain the adoption process and fees before anyone drives over, and turn visitors into fosters, volunteers and donors. On we.inc the AI can build the adoptable-animal pages, an adoption application form that emails your team, and a donate button tied to your own Stripe account.

Pages every animal shelter website needs
Adoptable Animals: The page people come for. Each profile should list age, size, energy level and how the animal does with kids, cats and other dogs.
How to Adopt: Spells out the application, meet-and-greet, home check if you do one, and adoption fees so applicants arrive prepared.
Foster: Fosters free up kennel space. Explain what you supply (food, crates, vet care) and what you ask of foster homes.
Volunteer: Lists roles like dog walking, cat socializing and event help, plus age minimums and orientation dates.
Donate & Wish List: Monetary gifts through your Stripe account plus a supply wish list for people who would rather drop off blankets or litter.
Lost & Found / Surrender: Tells people what to do with a found stray and how owner surrenders work, which cuts down on phone calls.

A website for Second Chance Paws, a volunteer-run dog and cat rescue in Columbus, Ohio. We need an adoptable animals page with a profile for each pet, an adoption application form, a foster sign-up page, a volunteer page with our Saturday orientation times, and a donate page. Warm, hopeful colors and big photos.

What makes a animal shelter website work
Profiles that reduce returns
A good profile is candid: separation anxiety, leash reactivity or a need to be the only cat. The AI writes a consistent profile layout so your staff only fill in the facts, and matching expectations up front leads to adoptions that stick.
Updating the animal list
Animals come and go weekly. You can ask the AI in chat to add a new arrival or mark someone as adopted. If you already use a shelter management system with its own listing feed, link or embed that instead, since we.inc does not sync with it.
Applications go to your inbox
The adoption and foster forms email the answers to your team. They are requests, not approvals, so your normal screening, references and meet-and-greets stay exactly as they are.
Fundraising rules
Donations run through your own Stripe account. If you are a registered charity, check your state or provincial charitable solicitation registration requirements before running online appeals, and state your tax-receipt policy clearly on the donate page.
What it costs
A small rescue can start on the free plan with up to three template sites on a we.inc address, edited by hand. Having the AI build and update animal profiles starts at $20 a month on Starter, and pointing your own domain (typically $10 to $20 a year) at the site needs a paid plan.
The free plan lets you build up to 3 sites from templates and publish them free on a we.inc address. It has no AI. Building and editing with AI starts on Starter at $20 a month with 250 credits.
Frequently asked questions
Can people apply to adopt online?
Yes. The AI builds an adoption application form that emails each submission to you. It collects the details you choose, such as housing type, landlord permission and other pets, and your team follows up from there.
Can I take donations on the site?
Yes, through your own Stripe account, including one-off gifts. Check the charitable solicitation rules where you operate and say clearly whether donations are tax-deductible.
Does it connect to my shelter software?
No automatic sync. You can keep profiles updated by chat, or link to or embed the listing page your shelter software already provides.
Can volunteers book shifts?
The site can have a volunteer interest form that emails you. For self-serve shift scheduling, link a dedicated volunteer scheduling tool from the page.
How should I handle owner surrenders?
Give surrenders their own page with your intake policy and a request form, so you can triage by phone or email before an animal arrives. Avoid promising intake you may not have space for.
