The Industry Is Asking
for Exactly This.
Animal welfare professionals are independently arriving at the same conclusion — the solution to shelter bites is real-time monitoring and early warning systems.
Why Argos Exists
Built for the Kennel Floor.
Not the Boardroom.
The High-Stakes Reality of the Kennel Floor
In the high-pressure environment of animal welfare, staff are asked to make life-altering decisions based on subjective notes or gut feeling. This information gap is not just an administrative hurdle — it is a direct risk to human safety and animal lives.
When a handler enters a kennel without knowing a dog's behavior history over the last 24 hours, they are walking into an avoidable unknown. Argos was built to bridge this gap.
Clearing the Path So the Expert Can Shine
True innovation does not replace the expert — it clears the path so the expert can shine. The goal of Argos is to eliminate the administrative burden and burnout that drains the life out of shelter organizations.
When we automate the data collection process, we save shelters thousands of dollars by shortening the Length of Stay and increasing the accuracy of every adoption match.
Rehabilitation Stalled by Inconsistency — Not Anymore
For too long, rehabilitation has been stalled by inconsistent observation and the exhaustion of overworked teams. Argos provides a consistent, 24/7 behavioral baseline that identifies triggers and stressors before a human even steps into the frame.
From Intake to Adoption — Faster
Every day a dog spends in a kennel costs the shelter money, space, and resources that could save another life. Argos dramatically shortens the intake-to-adoption timeline by providing objective behavioral data that accelerates matching and eliminates unnecessary holds.
More accurate data. Faster decisions. More dogs saved.
Our Mission Is Personal
Argos was not born in a boardroom. It was born from a deep personal understanding of what it means to watch the animals you love and know that the system wasn't built to see them clearly. As a Pit Mom to three rescued littermates, I know firsthand that the most labeled dogs are often the ones who need the most objective advocates.
We built Argos to be the ultimate advocate — the constant, watchful eye that sees every moment the staff cannot. This is not just technology. It is a legacy of turning fear into a safety net for the entire animal welfare community.
This is why it's personal. My dogs — free, happy, safe. Every dog deserves this.
The Platform
The Whole Movie. Not Just the Snapshot.
Computer Vision Monitoring
Real-time video analysis trained for shelter and kennel environments. Reads posture, movement, and interaction patterns continuously — not just when an incident occurs.
Thermal Stress Detection
Thermal imaging identifies physiological stress markers invisible to the human eye — elevated temperature patterns, anxiety responses, and early distress signals before they escalate.
Acoustic Behavioral Analysis
AI-powered audio monitoring differentiates fear vocalizations, play sounds, warning signals, and distress calls — adding a full sensory layer to behavioral assessment.
Predictive Risk Dashboard
A unified view of behavioral data across your facility. Flags at-risk animals early, tracks patterns over time, and generates documentation for placement decisions and liability protection.
The Environments We Serve
From large municipal shelters to boutique boarding facilities — Argos works where dogs live.
