So easy to use. A must have!

As my title says it is a must to have if you work with animals, rescuers, shelters. The information is so easy to access that I haven't had any difficulties working with it. Simple and straight to the point. 5 stars. Worth every penny and such a time saver

Pros:

When I got Buzz I never expected it to be this good. Everything is condensed in one place making it easy to navigate. I love how it is made for animals being the first software I used for this purpose. My main go to is how easy it is to use, even if you aren't web savy you will be able to understand and navigate through it swiftly. It is a must have and I don't plan to go back on it.

Cons:

So far, I have been using it for less than 6 months and I have nothing to dislike

Customer service couldn't be better!

It's been fantastic! It has reduced the amount of time we spend processing applications and posting dogs, and we even eliminated a couple of volunteer "positions" so that those folks could be used for different tasks.

Pros:

Access to support. The whole team is responsive, friendly, and empowered to help. They got into this because they saw a genuine need they wanted to fill in order to help rescues save more pets, and this goal is apparent in everything they do. It's clear that they've designed it with the intention to minimize administrative burden for volunteers and to improve the quality of public-facing websites and the records that we keep. I LOVE that it's an all-in-one option. Many other systems would have required splitting our public site from our dog and volunteer databases. Having just one team to deal with everything is huge for us. If that's not enough, they're fun and friendly, and I also trust that they'd be great about letting folks know if their product is *not* likely to help--so I'd definitely recommend setting up a time to talk with the team!

Cons:

Integration with Petfinder--BUT this problem is on Petfinder's end, not on Buzz's end.

Reasons for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

It was the only system that was "all-in-one," it worked well for foster-based rescue (many others focused more on shelters), and the people involved were so great to work with.

Reasons for switching to Buzz to the Rescues

Support was ending for many of the Drupal modules we used, and we no longer had a volunteer who was able to code in Drupal; therefore, updating to the new Drupal version wasn't on the table--we knew we needed to switch systems entirely. When we originally started the Drupal site, there weren't options like Buzz--or they were extremely expensive and geared more for shelters, not foster-based rescues. We had a very robust system built just for us, so it took us quite a while to find something that could replicate what we had. Not only did Buzz do that, but they added features we didn't even know we needed!

Grateful for Buzz - Intuitive, responsive and very effective

Seamless integration with our existing data. We now have a beautifully designed website that inputs application information into our data base and communicates with adopters every step of the way. This alone saves our volunteers hours of time.

Pros:

Cons:

Occasionally, Canadians were unable to select their home province; but the Buzz team has fixed this issue permanently.

Reasons for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

Buzz was designed for rescues and shelters. Their sole interest is to help non-profits and animal-based organizations work smarter - raise more money and have all their information in one place. And it was incredibly easy to learn how to use it. We now train new volunteers in an hour. It’s remarkable

Software Review from a small Canadian Rescue

Fantastic and oh so patient with us. Being a small Canadian Rescue, there were a few processes that just didn't fit how things are done in Canada such as not having 501 C3's here. Customization for those type of things was done immediately. We have enjoying providing ideas and listening to Buzz to the Rescues, come up with concepts that are outside of the box. The fact that they continue to have software that is a work in progress just allows for us to suspercede all other Rescues here in what our site and backend is able to offer.

Pros:

We have found that the layout of this software is fabulous. It is been streamlined for ease of use for the site visitors as well as incredible behind-the-scenes tools for the administrator. We also appreciate the fact that it continues to evolve regularly. Rescues are encouraged for feedback for process improvements and most of them are implemented. The branding on this software is superb. It is something we didn't have or think about with our last software. It focuses on the colors of the Rescue's logo as well as having a multitude of avenues to allow for donations throughout the site!

Cons:

We are awaiting pdf files to help those of us, with memory loss on the steps required, how to make certain changes ourselves on the backend.

Reasons for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

We knew right away this software was going to help us make a mark in the Rescue World. It also has shelter capability which has helped when we are fostering multiple dogs at a time. It does work for both the shelters and foster based rescues's needs. So much of it can be customized as we did when we had a "Nursery Page" implemented. The functionality of it, seems endless. We can up load our live feeds to Youtube through links, we can create our own slides on our home page, it works with PayPal which is great for converting US dollar donations to Cdn Dollars. The list is endless.

Reasons for switching to Buzz to the Rescues

We were looking for more functionality. Our old system didn't even allow for copy and paste features!! This was a software that had functionality that we never would have even thought of had we designed one ourselves.

PAWS to Perfect

We have not had a viable website for our small non-profit. Plus, the current record-keeping software is ancient, difficult to use, and doesn't tell the complete story of what PAWS accomplishing with limited funds and dedicated volunteers. Buzz is provided us with a way to draw all the data together in one place, helping us tell our story more effectively.

Game Changer for Rescues

This system has been amazing. We have an Intake Team, Medical Team, Social Media Team, Cat & Dog Adoption Teams, Foster Team and Volunteer Team ALL utilizing this system to manage animals, people, pet promotional marketing via the website, applications, adoption fee payments, contracts, e-communications, and much more!

Pros:

Each of our Team Leaders wanted specific functionalities to make their role and administrative management more streamlined and efficient. Buzz was the only software that had what ALL of our teams were looking for. We didn’t have to compromise, everyone got exactly what they needed!

Cons:

There’s no cons. The platform is great and Buzz Team is really open to feedback and questions. Anything I felt overwhelmed by in moving our system to Buzz wound up being an option I just wasn’t aware of - but the service team fielded endless emails from me without hesitation!

Reasons for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

At the end of the day it came down to functionality, user-friendliness, and price. For us, the $139 a month was FAR LESS than the $1-2/ adoption charge most other platforms cost AND we no longer needed to pay $300 a year for website hosting because that is part of Buzz’s platform. We are currently a completely paperless organization and have cut our administrative/record keeping hours easily in half! Adoptions remain high in an otherwise turbulent time and the random donations that come in from the Call to Action Buttons all throughout the site usually cover a good portion of the cost anyway!

Reasons for switching to Buzz to the Rescues

We wanted a system to produce medical record printouts and streamline our adoptions process - we also wanted a more “up to date” software that was compatible with other tech tools we utilize… we also really wanted the Board of Directors time to be less focused on manual record keeping but instead click of a button production of auto-generated info.

Easy and Fool Proof

Buzz has helped our shelter become better all around. Having a website for people to find their FURever best friends has been a tremendous change for our shelter. [sensitive content hidden] was with us every step of the way to answer any and all questions we had. The whole process of making a website and a database would not have been possible for us without Buzz to the Rescues.

Pros:

Buzz to the Rescues is straightforward and simple. Before Buzz to the Rescues, our shelter used paper files and social media posts for advertising. We knew we needed to update how we kept data and knew we needed a website. So with the help of Google, we found Buzz. Buzz helped easily convert all data and files to our online database. We like the ease and simplicity of everything Buzz has to offer.

Cons:

There have been a couple of "glitches," but Buzz has worked well at fixing any issues we have had. There have been no significant issues with Buzz, and I am confident that any problems that may arise will be handled and taken care of promptly.
