Rescues are the heroes of Wag On Home. We build tools that amplify the people getting pets home — starting with transport coordination and expanding into adoption support.

Moving rescue pets just got a lot easier.

Wag On Home is a free platform that helps animal rescues coordinate transport runs, adoptions, and foster paperwork in one place. Rescue transport runs on group texts, lost paperwork, and last-minute scrambles. Wag On Home replaces the chaos with one paperless platform — clear information for every rescue, transporter, and adopter, before and during every run. More pets get home, sooner, and the people doing the work finally have the tools they deserve.

Join the platform — it's freeSee how it works
Made for both sides of every run

One workspace. Every rescue, every transport provider, every pet.

The more rescues and providers on the platform, the more pets get home. Wag On Home connects both sides of the run — and keeps everyone reading from the same page.

For rescues

Find more transport opportunities that match your pets — and move them out the door faster, with fewer planning mistakes.

  • Clear readiness tracking for every pet
  • Automatic document scanning
  • One-tap confirmations with every party

For transport providers

Your capacity gets seen by every rescue on the platform — not just the ones with your phone number.

  • Fill seats more consistently
  • Manage drivers and runs in one place
  • Stop chasing pieces of paper

Everyone wins — especially the pets

When every party gets exactly the information they need — and nothing they don't — drivers stay focused on the road, receivers get clear handoff details, and pets reach home without the group-text scramble.

  • Hundreds of hours back from thread chaos
  • Near-zero planning and communication errors
  • More pets moved, easier and earlier
First focus: transport

How a run works on Wag On Home

Our first build lane is the coordinator view — making transport easier to plan, confirm, and complete across every route type.

  • SHELTER → RESCUE
  • RESCUE → RESCUE
  • RESCUE → ADOPTER
  1. Leg 01 · Plan

    Build the run, see the whole route

    Clear run planning across sending, receiving, and delivery roles. Match pets to capacity, set the stops, and everyone sees the same plan from the start.

  2. Leg 02 · Ready

    Readiness, shared — not chased

    The rescue's transport coordinator and the transport provider share one structured record. Every pet's weight, paperwork, crate size, and handoff details live in one place — no notebooks, no envelopes, no last-minute scrambles over a mismatched detail.

  3. Leg 03 · Roll

    Simple manifests, clear next steps

    The driver stays focused on the road with delivery tools built for the job — stop-by-stop confirmations, checkoffs, and arrival photos, like professional delivery services use. Quick-tap updates handle common delays without a group-text scramble. Receivers follow the run's progress clearly, knowing exactly when their pet arrives.

  4. Leg 04 · Home

    Delivered, documented, done

    Handoffs are confirmed and the record is complete the moment the pet arrives. Nothing is charged for any of it — Wag On Home is free during early access.

About the founders

Built by people who've lived that gap and know there's a better way.

Wag On Home comes from a foster home and a rescue — not a boardroom. We've lived every gap this platform closes.

Kip Meierhofer

Co-founder

25 years building enterprise systems at a large financial institution. Fostering since 2019 — eight dogs of his own and hundreds fostered. He watched rescue transport and adoption processes operate like it was still 1999, and knew the infrastructure was the missing piece. Pet adoption should feel like Amazon, not Craigslist.
