For rescues and small shelters, whatever comes through intake.
Latigo Health is a cost-intelligence and operations tool for any business whose business is animals, including animal rescues and small shelters: each feed or dose checked off from the shelter's own storeroom posts its supply cost to that animal's own ledger, from intake on.
Vet bills, adoption fees, and donations can be recorded against the same animal, so what came in sits beside what went out.
Latigo Health is $50 a month for the whole shelter after 90 days free, with no per-seat fees and no separate nonprofit price.

Morning finished. 5 chores, 5 ledger lines. Clover still needs a witness.
No prices on this side. The feed side never shows a cost.
FIFO. Oldest batch first, at the price you paid for that batch.
Finish the round in the kennels. Each chore prints its own line here.

Biscuit is a retired racing greyhound, here since 19 August and waiting on a home. Slide to your guess at what his care has drawn from your storeroom, then hold it up against his adoption fee.

Brightside Animal Shelter demo data
Animals arrive one at a time and by the litter, healthy and not. The record keeps up.
Day one is on the record. Add an animal with the day it came in, and its timeline starts that day. Move it into quarantine and back out with a date and a note: each change goes on the timeline, and the animal list counts who is in quarantine.
Four kittens, one line on the run sheet. Take a litter in as one record with a headcount. Its feeds post to the litter, and its cost reads per head at the current headcount. When a kitten goes home, the count drops, with the reason on the timeline.

What came in sits beside what went out. Record an adoption fee or a donation against the animal it came for, and a vet bill the same way, entered once. The animal's ledger shows them beside the cost of its care, and the CSV export carries them all.
Run by run, from intake to quarantine, in the order you walk them. What each animal eats or takes from your storeroom posts to that animal's own ledger, like Biscuit's kibble from Run 4.
Most shelter software is built around adoption: listings, applications, outcomes. The care in between, and what it costs, lives on a whiteboard. Here each feed and dose is a check-off, and the cost of care is what comes out of your storeroom plus the bills you enter.

If the job is cost per animal, Latigo Health does it from the care itself: each feed and dose checked off from your storeroom posts its cost to that animal's ledger, from intake on. In the demo, Biscuit's care since intake came to $109.52 against a $250.00 adoption fee. It is not adoption software: there are no listings, applications, or outcome reports.
Record the adoption fee on the animal's ledger in Latigo Health; its care is already there, posted from the run sheet. In the demo, Duchess, who came in heartworm positive, ran $481.62 past her fee once her vet bill sat beside her care. The cost of care is supplies and the bills you enter, not staff time or overhead.
Not yet. There are no adoption listings or applications, no foster or donor management, and no outcome reports. It keeps the care and what it costs; when an animal goes home, record the adoption fee on its ledger.
Yes. Mark a task RED in Latigo Health, like a dog's carprofen the morning after his neuter, and it cannot be checked off until a second member of your team witnesses it. Both names stay on the task.
Yes. Add them to your team in Latigo Health as staff: they check off tasks and see the records, never a cost. The account owner sees the money; managers see what the owner allows.
Yes. Each vaccine goes on the animal's record with its next due date, and an alert comes up 30 days before it is due. A vaccine on the record posts no cost; what the vet bills goes on the ledger as a bill.
Yes. It is made for a phone first. A task checked off with no signal waits on the phone until the signal returns, and its cost posts once, on the server.
90 days free, then $50 a month, with no added payment fees. One price for the whole shelter, however many animals come through; there is no separate nonprofit price.
