Every animal deserves to be found. That belief is why the Lilly Bean Collective exists and it's the same belief that drives Three Little Pitties Rescue every single day. Today, we're thrilled to announce Three Little Pitties as our founding partner. This is just the beginning.

Why This Partnership Matters

Rescue doesn't fail from lack of compassion. It fails from lack of coordination.

Every rescue organization knows this truth intimately. The volunteers are there. The fosters are willing. The adopters are searching. But too often, the systems connecting them are stitched together with spreadsheets, group texts, social posts that go nowhere, and sheer will.

If you've fostered, volunteered, or run intake for a rescue, you already know the drill: group texts, spreadsheets, "did anyone see my message?" Urgent cases that need ten people to know right now but only reach two. Dogs and cats sitting on generic listings where the right person never sees them in time.

That's not a compassion problem. It's a coordination problem. And it's exactly what LBC was built to fix.

Three Little Pitties Rescue has spent years building a reputation for going further for the dogs and cats who need it most, the overlooked, the harder-to-place, the ones who need a little extra time to find their person. That mission is exactly why this partnership makes sense: LBC was built to give organizations like theirs the infrastructure to match their heart.

“Rescuing animals involves a ton of communication and sometimes, despite our best efforts, it's still not enough with the tools that we have. When those processes are streamlined and visibility increases for more desperate animals, we will undoubtedly save more lives.”

Alayna Matranga Goodson, Founder & Director of Three Little Pitties Rescue

Built to Be Found, Not Just Posted

LBC is real-time coordination for the entire rescue network. Start with the public adoption marketplace, where animals are surfaced by urgency and length of stay, not just recency. Then connect fosters, volunteers, and transporters, and coordinate transfers through dedicated dashboards and a real-time Community Feed with direct messaging.

No more social media chaos. No more losing a "yes" in a twenty-person group chat. Just lifesaving tools, all in one place — and everything trackable, from a pledge to a transfer.

Static, generic listings are why too many adoptable animals get scrolled past instead of seen, and why a foster's Tuesday "yes" doesn't reach the team until Thursday. LBC closes that gap with real-time visibility, so the moment someone shows interest, that momentum moves instead of dying in an inbox.

This isn't another shelter app. It's compassionate infrastructure, built for a network that already wants to help. For Three Little Pitties Rescue, that means every animal in their care — including the ones who've historically been hardest to place — gets a fighting chance to be seen on the LBC public adoption marketplace. With customized waiting lists, they can manage who's ready for what, in what order, without losing track of a single animal. And with the Community Feed, their volunteers and supporters stay looped in on real-time updates instead of chasing down answers across scattered group chats and posts.

“Some of the most incredible animals in our care have been waiting the longest — not because they aren't wonderful, but because the right person hasn't found them yet. LBC's public adoption marketplace offers more than another place to list them; it creates a better way for each animal to be seen, matched, and connected with a family. Our hope is that this partnership will give every dog and cat — especially those who have been overlooked for far too long — a genuine chance to finally be found.”

Jenelle Wrede, Director of Operations at Three Little Pitties Rescue

Built Together, Not Just Adopted

Three Little Pitties Rescue didn't just sign up for LBC. As a founding partner, their team shaped it from the ground up, testing what actually worked for a rescue on the ground and feeding that straight back into the product. Every workflow, every dashboard, every piece of the platform that touches real rescue work carries their fingerprints: volunteer coordination, foster placements, transport and transfer logistics, waitlists, the community feed, the marketplace itself. All refined through what Three Little Pitties Rescue actually needed day to day, not just what looked good on paper.

That's the difference between a vendor and a founding partner. Three Little Pitties Rescue didn't wait for a finished product to adopt — they helped build the one they needed, and in doing so, helped build the infrastructure the entire rescue network gets to use now.

What's Next

We built this platform with Three Little Pitties Rescue and for every shelter and rescue facing the same day-to-day reality: too many dogs and cats, not enough hands, and systems that were never built to keep up with the urgency of the work.

The animals don't need us working in silos. They need us working as a collective. That's how we save more lives.

Every day without coordination is a day an animal waits longer to be found.

Join the Lilly Bean Collective — before another one runs out of time.
