The Impact
Why Shelters Need Better Technology
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 6.5 million animals enter US shelters every year. Around 920,000 are euthanised annually — not because they are unadoptable, but because shelters lack the digital infrastructure to connect them with the right families quickly enough. Most rescues still manage enquiries through email threads, paper forms, and Facebook posts. Hushku gives every shelter a real-time digital presence and a direct channel to adopters.

Finding the right shelter is only the first step. Once you have adopted, Hushku's health tracker stores your new pet's vaccination records and medication history — and playdate matching helps newly adopted dogs build confidence through structured one-on-one socialisation. If you are not ready to adopt, fostering is available through many shelters on the platform.
