For shelters, rescues and animal control

Every animal you touch, with a history that holds up.

Intake, custody, transfer, adoption and reunion recorded as an append-only chain your whole team shares - and that survives the animal leaving your care. When an adopter, a court, or a funder asks what happened, the answer is already written down.

Scan first, guess never

A chip or QR scan returns the owner and their contact immediately. Reunions that used to take days of phone calls happen before the animal is kennelled - and a pet that goes home the same day never becomes a shelter statistic.

Custody as a chain, not a field

Intake, hold, transfer, adopt-out and return-to-owner are each recorded with who did it and when. Nothing is overwritten, so the record of a contested animal is the same record you had on day one.

Care history that outlives the adoption

Animals you adopted out stay on your permanent care history with their outcome. Your roster shows what you hold today; your history shows everything you have ever held.

Disputes routed to whoever holds the animal

If ownership is contested, the case lands with the organisation actually holding it, with a private message thread to each party. You are not copied into arguments about animals you never had.

Bulk-issue QR tags for the animals you place, so every adopter leaves with a working ID.

What it is

One record every animal shares - not another silo.

KinMarq is trust infrastructure for animals: a permission-based platform where a shelter, a vet, a city, and an owner can all work from the same verified history for a pet - its identity, health, custody, and current status.

For your organization, that means a shared roster of every animal you touch, a tamper-evident record of everything that happens to it, and a public trust badge that says your records can be relied on. It sits on top of your kennel, practice-management, or spreadsheet workflow - it doesn't replace it.

Why it matters
An animal's history lives in a dozen disconnected places - a chip registry here, a paper file there, a memory in someone's head. When it matters most, no one can prove what's true.

That gap costs you real things: animals that sit longer because their story can't be confirmed, reunions that stall, adoptions that unravel, ownership disputes with no paper trail, and hours of staff time re-keying the same information.

Prove it, don't claim it

A signed, append-only history stands up to owners, adopters, auditors, and courts. Nothing is quietly changed or deleted.

Reunite faster

A scan or a matched sighting connects a found animal to its family in minutes - not weeks of kennel space.

Stop re-keying

Records follow the animal between you, the vet, and the new home. Enter once; everyone downstream inherits it.

Where it fits

Built for the organizations animals pass through.

Each type gets tools tuned to how you actually work - and they all share the same trusted record, so a hand-off between you is seamless.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

No integration project, no data migration to survive first. Start using it, and the record builds itself as you work.

1

Create your organization

Set up your org and get verified so your records carry a trust badge.

2

Invite your team

Add staff with roles - admin, vet, or staff. Everyone sees the same shared roster.

3

Log animals as you go

Take custody, register a resident's pet, record a vaccine. Each action writes to the history automatically.

4

Hand off with proof

Adopt out, transfer, reunite, or resolve a dispute - the full trail travels with the animal.

The capabilities

Everything your operation needs, in one place.

Chain of custody, done right

Every intake, foster, adoption, transfer, and reunion is written to a tamper-evident, append-only record - with who, what, and when. Keep a permanent care history of every animal you've ever held, even years after it's adopted out. This is the paper trail that protects your organization.

Whole-team access & roles

Everyone at your org sees the same live roster with the right permissions - admin, vet, or staff. No more "it's on someone's laptop."

AI-assisted reunions

Found a stray? Community and staff sightings are matched by AI against lost pets - turning a full kennel into a fast reunion.

Intake & adoption workflows

Take an animal into custody in a tap, then adopt out or rehome with a signed hand-off that hands the new owner a complete record.

Verified professional badge

Get verified so owners, adopters, and other orgs know your records are legitimate - and your trust score grows with every confirmed relationship.

Jurisdiction & residents

Municipalities manage a resident-and-pet roll by ZIP, register residents' animals, and keep licensing current - expiry, renewal, and all.

Dispute arbitration

When ownership is contested, disputes route to the right handler. Message both parties, review the record, and resolve it on a documented trail.

Your data, never locked in

Search by chip or QR, connect vets, attach records - and export everything, anytime. We integrate before we replace, and we never sell your data.

Snout recognition

A biometric that arrives with the animal.

Every dog's nose print is unique - a pattern of ridges as individual as a fingerprint. Capturing it at intake gives you an identifier that can't fall off, wear out, or need a scanner, and a clean biometric reference on the animal's verifiable record.

Unforgeable identity

The nose's ridge pattern is individual to each dog and doesn't change - a natural biometric that strengthens proof of identity for adoptions, transfers, and ownership disputes.

Quality-checked at capture

Staff take a close-up; the app auto-checks sharpness, lighting, and framing and stores a standardized crop with full provenance. Poor captures are rejected, so your reference set stays clean and audit-grade.

Builds toward faster reunions

Every enrolled print grows a trusted reference set - the foundation for AI-assisted matching that will suggest which lost dog a stray is, always confirmed by a person before it counts.

No account needed - check a found dog's nose against pets reported lost.

When you'll reach for it

Every moment an animal changes hands.

If it's a moment you'd want on the record later, it's a moment for KinMarq.

A stray comes in An owner surrenders a pet A foster takes one home An adoption is finalized A transfer to another org A lost pet is scanned A vaccine or vet visit An ownership dispute A licensing renewal An audit or records request
What's in it for you

The payoff, plainly.

More animals home, faster

Scans and AI-matched sightings shorten length-of-stay and free up kennels - the outcome your mission and your budget both want.

Liability you can defend

A signed, timestamped custody trail protects you in disputes, audits, and adoption reversals. Prove exactly what happened, and when.

Hours of admin back

Records entered once follow the animal everywhere. Less re-keying, fewer phone calls, one source your whole team trusts.

Public trust, earned

A verified badge and transparent history tell owners and adopters your organization is the real thing - and worth working with.

No risky rollout

Keep your current tools and start small. There's nothing to rip out, and nothing to lose - you can export and walk away anytime.

A network effect on your side

Every vet, shelter, and owner already on KinMarq makes your hand-offs smoother and your reunions faster. It compounds.
