Give every adopted pet the best start.

Wagabond is completely free for shelters and rescues. When a pet gets adopted, their new owner gets a lifetime of organized health records — starting at $30 added to their adoption fee.

You send them home with everything. Then the records disappear.

Your team works hard to send every adopted pet home with a complete packet — vaccination records, microchip info, spay/neuter documentation, care instructions. You’ve done everything right.

But within weeks, that folder gets lost, the vet records get misplaced, and the new owner is starting from scratch at their first vet appointment. Through no fault of yours — or theirs.

  • Records get lost

    Paper packets disappear within weeks. New owners can’t find records when they need them most.

  • Vets start from scratch

    The first vet appointment after adoption is spent rebuilding history that you already provided.

  • Outcomes suffer

    Incomplete health history means missed vaccines, delayed treatment, and gaps in care that affect the pet’s long-term health.

Wagabond keeps every adopted pet’s records safe. Forever. At no cost to your shelter.

A simple digital home for every pet you place — so the records you worked hard to create never get lost again.

  1. You partner with Wagabond — free

    Sign up your shelter at no cost. We provide everything you need — co-branded QR cards, digital onboarding materials, and a dedicated partner page.

  2. Wagabond is included in every adoption

    A $30 Wagabond membership is added as an opt-out line item on your adoption fee. Adopters can remove it, but most won’t — it’s priced to feel like a gift, not an add-on.

  3. New owner sets up their pet’s profile

    The adopter downloads Wagabond, uploads all the records you sent home with them, and has a permanent organized home for their pet’s entire health history — in under 5 minutes.

  4. Your shelter earns $2 per adoption

    For every adopter who keeps their Wagabond membership, $2 goes back to your shelter. Automatically. No invoices, no admin. Just passive income for your organization.

Everything your shelter gets. Free.

Every adopted pet leaves with a tag.

Every Wagabond adoption package includes a custom engraved metal dog tag. The pet’s name. A QR code. A direct link to their health profile.

When someone finds a lost dog and scans the tag, they see exactly who to call, what medical needs the pet has, and where their records are stored. It’s the most useful thing that pet will ever wear.

For the new owner, it’s a memorable first gift. For the pet, it’s a safety net for life.

Common questions.

Is Wagabond really free for our shelter?
Yes. Completely free. No trial period, no setup fee, no monthly cost. Your shelter pays nothing — ever. The $30 comes from adopters, not from you.
What if an adopter doesn’t want Wagabond?
They can opt out at checkout. Wagabond is included by default because most adopters genuinely want it — but we never force it on anyone.
How does the $2 revenue share get paid to us?
Automatically, quarterly, to your shelter’s bank account or PayPal. You can see your running total in your Wagabond partner dashboard at any time. No invoicing, no admin.
What records does Wagabond store?
Everything you send home with the adopter — vaccination records, microchip info, spay/neuter documentation, medication history, vet visit notes, and care instructions. Plus everything they add going forward.
How does the dog tag work?
Every adopted pet gets a custom engraved metal tag with their name and a QR code. When someone scans the QR code, they see the pet’s Wagabond profile — owner contact info, medical needs, and emergency instructions. If the pet is lost, whoever finds them can reach the owner instantly.
How long does it take to set up?
Less than 15 minutes. We handle everything — card design, printing, shipping. You just include the card in your adoption packet and update your adoption fee to include the $30 Wagabond line item.
