Software built for animal welfare organizations.
LutraPets is a platform for the tools animal welfare organizations need to truly do it all — starting with LP Pantry, the pet pantry tracking tool for organizations of all sizes.

What Is LP Pantry?
LP Pantry is a tool built for animal welfare organizations operating community pet pantries. It replaces paper logs and spreadsheets with something simple enough for staff and volunteers to use daily — logging a visit takes seconds.
Every organization gets its own profile. No setup burden, no IT department required — just a tool that fits how a pantry actually runs day-to-day.

What LP Pantry Does
What We're Building
LP Pantry is the first piece of something bigger — LutraPets is building a family of tools for animal welfare organizations.
Replaces paper logs and messy spreadsheets with a simple tool for staff and volunteers — client records, visit logging, reporting, and more.
Shift scheduling, self-serve booking, and badge check-in/out for your volunteer program — built the same way Pantry was, around how shelters actually run one.
A searchable home for your shelter's protocols and reference documents, built for quick use at busy organizations.
Track spending against specific grants as it happens, so reporting to a funder doesn't mean reconstructing numbers after the fact.
Track individual donors and donations easily with our user-friendly interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is our data secure?+
Yes. LutraPets uses a multi-tenant architecture with strict data isolation — your organization's data is never visible to any other organization on the platform, enforced at the database level, not just the interface.
What happens after a pilot ends?+
There's no obligation to continue. If LutraPets is useful to your organization, we'll talk about what continuing looks like once pricing is finalized. If it's not the right fit, that's valuable feedback too.
What does it cost?+
LutraPets is built around a free tier (LutraPets Pantry Lite) covering core features, with more advanced features available on a paid tier. See our pricing page for details. Pilot partners get full access at no cost during their pilot period.
What if something breaks or I get stuck?+
Every LutraPets product has a built-in Help button for support requests, and pilot partners get a direct line to the person actually building the product, not a ticket queue.
Do I need technical experience to use this?+
No. LutraPets products are built for shelter and rescue staff, not developers — if you can use a smartphone, you can use LP Pantry.
Is this only for pet food pantries?+
No — LP Pantry was our first product, and LP Volunteers (shift scheduling and check-in) is in progress next. We're actively building more tools for animal welfare organizations. See our Roadmap for what's live, what's in progress, and what's next.
Can multiple locations use one account?+
If your organization operates multiple physical locations, LP Pantry supports tracking visits by location within a single organization account. This is a Pro-plan feature — see our pricing page for details.
How is LutraPets different from other food bank tracking tools?+
LutraPets is built specifically for animal welfare organizations, by someone who's actually run this kind of program — not adapted from generic nonprofit or CRM software.
