Frequently Asked Questions

HomeForPup is an AI-powered platform built specifically for responsible dog breeders and rescue organizations. It gives you a professional website, management tools, an application system, and social media integration — all in one place. You can get started for free and upgrade as your program grows.

Sign up for a free account and set up your kennel profile. Your website is generated automatically from your dashboard data — parent dogs, litters, photos, and more. You can choose a pre-designed template and customize colors, or upgrade to Pro to use the AI Website Builder for a fully tailored site.

Not at all. HomeForPup is designed so you can build and manage your breeder website without any coding or design experience. With the AI Builder (Pro plan), you simply describe what you want and the AI designs your site using professional components.

Yes. Every breeder website on HomeForPup is included in our marketplace directory. Families can browse by breed, location, and availability to discover your kennel and apply directly through your site.

The AI Builder lets you describe the kind of website you want in plain language — for example, "Build me a warm, family-friendly site with my dogs, litters, and FAQ." The AI then arranges professional components like hero banners, dog galleries, litter lists, testimonials, and more into a complete multi-page website.

Templates give you pre-designed layouts (Classic, Modern, Minimal) where you fill in your content manually through a form. The AI Builder composes your entire site from reusable platform blocks and generates the text content for you. Templates are available on all plans; the AI Builder requires the Pro plan or above.

Yes. Data blocks like your dog gallery, litter list, testimonials, and FAQ pull live data from your dashboard. The AI also uses your kennel name, description, and specialties to write relevant, personalized content — it never invents facts about your program.

Absolutely. You can prompt the AI to make changes — like "Add a testimonials section" or "Make the hero more welcoming" — and it will regenerate the layout with your updates. You can also switch back to template mode at any time.

Your dashboard lets you manage parent dogs, litters (with statuses like planned, expecting, born, weaning, ready), puppy profiles, health records, milestones, photos, applications, waitlists, and your breeder website — all in one place.

Families apply through a multi-step form on your breeder website. You receive applications in your dashboard where you can review, approve, waitlist, or decline. Pro plan users can customize the application form questions.

Yes (Starter plan and above). You can create waitlists per litter, manage positions, send status updates to families, and match the right puppy to the right home when they're ready.

HomeForPup supports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X (Twitter). Connect your accounts from the Social section of your dashboard and manage everything in one place.

Yes. Compose a single post in your dashboard and publish it to all your connected accounts simultaneously. You can also customize the content per platform before posting.

Absolutely. When you update a litter status, add new puppy photos, or hit a milestone, you can share the update to your connected social accounts directly from your dashboard — no need to switch between apps.

Social media integration is available on the Pro plan ($39/mo) and above. The Free plan does not include social media features.
