Free Rescue Daily Snapshot — Capacity & Intake Tracker for Animal Rescues

Know if you're full before you say yes to another intake.

Every rescue has had the moment: a call comes in about an animal that needs saving, and you honestly can't remember if you have room. This free spreadsheet answers that in one glance.

Enter today's numbers — dogs, cats, intakes, adoptions, foster homes — and it shows you where you stand: how many animals are in care, whether each housing area is Comfortable, Near Capacity, or Full, and what needs attention today.

What you get

• A capacity monitor that flags Full before you overcommit — works with a building or foster-only
• Daily animal counts with day-over-day change, so you see what's moving
• A simple action list that flags what's overdue on its own
• A daily log that builds your trend over time

Housing is optional — foster-based rescues just skip it and still get the counts and action list. Takes five minutes to set up, about three minutes a day. Works in Excel and Google Sheets.

Built by someone who runs an animal rescue and got tired of guessing.
