SanctuaryVES: Volunteer systems for sanctuary care

SanctuaryVES builds custom volunteer engagement apps for animal sanctuaries — so your team spends less time on logistics and more time with the animals in your care.

Volunteers caring for rescued farm animals at a sanctuary during golden hour

Sanctuaries run on volunteer power. But onboarding new volunteers, tracking daily tasks, and keeping everyone informed is a full-time job on top of an already full-time job.

A dedicated app, built for your sanctuary.

Every SanctuaryVES app is custom-built around your animals, your property, and your workflows. Not a generic platform. Not a spreadsheet. A real tool your volunteers will actually use — on their phones, the moment they arrive.

  • Animal profiles with care notes and temperament info
  • Interactive property map
  • Daily checklists and task logs
  • Volunteer announcements and event sign-ups
  • Installable on any phone, works offline

Already in the field.

SanctuaryVES built the volunteer orientation app currently in use at a California farm sanctuary — helping new and returning volunteers navigate the property, care for resident animals, and stay informed before they ever set foot on the farm.
