The Foster Carer Portal is a secure platform built using Salesforce Digital Experiences, designed for animal organisations using AnimalOS. The portal enables foster carers to securely access information about Animals
assigned to their care. Carers can view animal profiles, including medical history, behaviour notes, and care requirements, ensuring they have all necessary details to provide appropriate care. The portal also facilitates communication between your organisation and foster carers, streamlining the exchange of information relevant to the Animal's
ongoing care.
The Foster Carer Portal requires Salesforce Community licenses which needs to be discussed with the AnimalOS team.
