Safe ground for every animal, before and during emergencies.
Barn Match helps communities prepare ahead of floods, wildfires, and storms — and coordinate temporary hosting when it counts. Privacy-first, organization-centered, and built for human-controlled matching.
How Barn Match works
Coordination tools for the moments that matter most — the app suggests, people decide.
Organize together
Join or create organizations that coordinate members, shelters, and emergency events across your region.
Prepare your animals
Add the animals you may need hosted and the capacity you can offer — horses, livestock, and more.
Privacy-protected matches
See potential matches by capacity and area. Contact details unlock only after both sides accept.
Stay ready
Reminders keep capacity and needs current, and emergency reconfirmation flags stale plans before disaster strikes.

Be ready before the next emergency.
It takes a few minutes to set up your profile. When every second counts, your community will already be in place.

Barn Match was born from a real need. After fires struck Northern California, the people who built this experienced it firsthand — scrambling to find safe ground for animals while roads closed and smoke filled the sky. In the aftermath, the community banded together, offering stalls, pasture, and supplies to neighbors in need. We created Barn Match in that same spirit: a tool to help communities prepare, coordinate, and take care of one another before the next emergency arrives.
