New platform modernizes rescue operations, centralizes pet and medical records, and expands adoptable pet visibility nationwide

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GetBuddy, the free, “Tinder-like” pet adoption platform with the largest rescue pet listing database in the U.S., today announced the launch of GetBuddy Pro, a free shelter management software designed to modernize operations and strengthen the adoption ecosystem from intake to placement.

While most industries have adopted modern, cloud-based software to manage records, workflows, and operations, most animal shelters still rely on outdated, fragmented, and costly systems, spreadsheets, or worse, no system at all. GetBuddy Pro was built to close that gap, giving rescues modern infrastructure designed specifically for the realities of animal welfare.

GetBuddy Pro enables shelters and rescues to track all current and past animals in one secure system, including status updates, photos, videos, behavioral notes, and full medical histories. The platform also manages applicants and applications end-to-end, reducing administrative burden while improving response times for adopters. With a single integration, GetBuddy Pro automatically syndicates adoptable pets across major consumer-facing adoption platforms, helping animals reach more qualified homes faster.

“Pet adoption fails when the system behind it is broken,” said Ryan Howard, founder of GetBuddy. “Shelters are underfunded and overcrowded, and expected to operate on outdated tools. GetBuddy Pro gives rescues modern infrastructure for free so they can focus on saving animals, not managing spreadsheets.”

Howard is a three-time health tech entrepreneur and the former founder of Practice Fusion, the nation’s largest electronic health record platform, serving more than 110 million patients and thousands of medical practices before its acquisition in 2018. After years of building software to solve fragmented data and workflow challenges in healthcare, Howard recognized the same systemic failures in shelter systems, an insight reinforced when he completed nearly 1,000 application questions while adopting two dogs from different rescues. To bring proven healthcare-grade software principles into animal welfare, GetBuddy recently hired Miguel Madero, a former staff engineer at Practice Fusion, Director at Zenefits, and serial entrepreneur, to lead development of GetBuddy Pro.

GetBuddy Pro is a critical component of GetBuddy’s broader mission to reduce pet returns and shelter overcrowding by improving outcomes on both sides of the adoption process. The consumer-facing free GetBuddy app pairs adopters with pets based on lifestyle compatibility and provides lifelong support through its 24/7 AI veterinarian and trainer, tools designed to help more adoptions succeed long-term.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…

It’s time for another season of Love Island Games. With fan-favorites returning in hopes of winning the $250,000 cash prize, read on to learn more about Love Island Games Season 2, including the release schedule so you don’t miss a second of drama. Love Island Games is a spinoff in the Love Island franchise that first premiered in 2023. The show follows a similar format to the original series, but with one major twist: all contestants are returning Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island from around the world, including the USA, UK, Australia and more. Another big difference is that games take on much more importance in Love Island Games than the mothership version, with the results “determining advantages, risks, and even who stays and who goes,” according to Peacock. Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is taking over hosting duties for Love Island Games Season 2, replacing Love Island UK star Maya Jama who hosted the first season. Iain Stirling returns as the show’s narrator, while UK alum Maura Higgins will continue to host the Saturday show Love Island: Aftersun. ForbesWho’s In The ‘Love Island Games’ Season 2 Cast?
