Continuous Deployment

We ship at least once per day, sometimes more. Zero downtime deployments mean your organization never misses a beat. This list is far from exhaustive. It only focuses on the most impactful changes and only when we think to add them. We release unlogged performance improvements, bug fixes, and new tweaks every day. The dates you see are the weeks during which we released these changes; not the day we released them.

PawPlacer SDK for Developers

Give your developer a practical starting point for connecting your organization’s tools to PawPlacer. The first-party SDK covers core records and comes with examples for building useful integrations.

New Features

A First-Party SDK: Use typed helpers for pets, adopters, fosters, adoption fees, contracts, and custom fields when connecting another tool to your workspace.
Workspace-Aware Connections: Initialize the SDK for the intended workspace and work with its records through a consistent client interface.
Structured Record Data: Payload helpers and typed responses make it easier for developers to map PawPlacer records into the formats their tools need.

Improvements

Examples for Getting Started: Follow documentation covering client setup, pagination, cache options, and request handling when building an integration.
Spreadsheet Exports for Detailed Review: Use the exports area to download detailed pet information as a spreadsheet when a file is the most useful way to review the data.

Pet Relationships and Care in Batches

Keep bonded partners and family relationships visible, and record shared care for several animals at once. Photo handling and archived-pet views support a more organized pet directory.

New Features

Bonded and Family Relationships: Link bonded partners, siblings, parents, and offspring so staff can understand how animals are connected when reviewing placements.
Medical Records for Several Pets: Enter a medical record for a group of pets in one operation, making shared treatments and routine care quicker to document.

Archived Pet Records: Removing a pet from active views moves the record to an archive for later reference.
Active Pets in Daily Views: Dashboard and flyer selections focus on active pets, keeping archived records separate from current work.
