### "We love Buzz!"

April 28, 2023

5.0

Our animals are better organized, we have gotten so much of our time back because we are all working out of the same software. Adoption numbers go up, and the stress goes waaaay down! (Outside from everyday Rescue stress haha!)

Pros

Ease of use.When we got Buzz what immediately stood out was how intuitive it was. I was able to get on and work within it very easily and without frustrations. Having the ability to manage our animals all in one space has been a lifesaver! I no longer have to hop from spreadsheet to spreadsheet and fb message to fb message. It's all in ONE place! The internal tags are my absolute favorite! Sending documents is easily a close second. There are so many features I love, it's worth it to do the Demo and see for yourself!

Cons

My only con is that I didn't find Buzz sooner!

### "We love Buzz!"

September 1, 2025

5.0

The whole Buzz team and the entire process, from the first walkthrough to signing the contract to going live, has been great. Anything that has come up was addressed immediately. We're a small rescue with minimal volunteer capacity, and the return on the investment, both in time and money, has been more than worth it. If you're looking for a program to help handle the operations of your rescue or shelter, this is it.

Pros

Buzz to the Rescue has been a game-changer for the rescue. Everything is streamlined, fosters have access to their dogs' records immediately, and it's all automatically added to the website for us. This has made the admin part of the rescue significantly easier and given us more time to get back to the rescuing.

Cons

The platform can be buggy, but every time we've had an issue, it has been addressed within a matter of days. The bug/new feature form is very easy to use, and our admins have all had their issues addressed quickly and professionally every time.

### "A great move for our rescue"

February 28, 2023

5.0

Our adoptions and intakes have increased since using Buzz. We are able to have custom reports made within weeks rather than months(or years) and we have more access to the information we need. Most of our information can be stored in the software so we have far fewer side documents to manage. We love having easy access to our website right in the software, even for folks who know nothing about building or maintaining a website.

Pros

Once we were able to migrate all of our information into Buzz, the software gave us access to more information, reports and we were able to have real time updates on our website. We are able to upload documents directly to dog profiles and being able to send emails directly from the system has allowed for seamless record keeping.

Cons

We could have used more hands on training initially but Buzz has been great at responding to all our questions and requests. Initially, the website was slow to load and update, but that has significantly improved since we started using it. We don't have the option to bring an adoption application back to "submitted" if it has been moved to conditional. Returning dogs to rescue is cumbersome and should have a more clear path. We also do not have stats reports available any longer and these would be huge time savers for the rescue.

### "It does EVERYTHING"

January 23, 2023

5.0

is a seriously passionate team with a nonstop dedication to rescues and animals. The platform itself is so good (easy, modern, intuitive, customizable) I wish I could use it for other parts of my life!

Pros

Back when I was searching for rescue management software, I didn't appreciate right away just how different is. It has ALL tools in one place, from the back-end database to the front-end website, and they all talk to each other seamlessly. They even cover the cost of hosting. It seems more expensive than others at first, but you save so much money and time getting rid of other tools and costs, which ultimately translates to more animals saved. We even tried a totally free option at first and ended up switching to Buzz within months because it is SO MUCH BETTER. Also -- even though we chose Buzz less than a year ago, it's already gotten faster and more customizable. The team behind it cares and never stops trying to make it better.

Cons

I'm excited for some of the additional automations that has mentioned rolling out in the future like automatically following up with adopters 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months later. I also wish they could pass along even more lessons learned across rescues so we can all do better.

[Pawlytics](https://www.capterra.com/p/194354/Pawlytics/)

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

IT'S THE BEST. Seriously, it has all the features we needed, plus ones we didn't even think about. It links the website to the behind-the-scenes database so you can update everything all at once. And I got the sense (and still believe) they really care about people and animals. They're not a tech product -- they are a team focused on setting you up for success.

[Petstablished](https://www.capterra.com/p/235584/Petstablished/)

Even though Petstablished was free and the onboarding person was very kind and knowledgeable, their platform was ultimately so painful to use. It took too long to figure out how to do something, and it was too hard to customize it for our needs. Ultimately not worth it =/

### "BUZZ to the Rescue will Save Your Rescue!"

May 28, 2021

5.0

From conception to launch the development of our website was an exciting process. The enthusiasm and knowledge from the Buzz team was inspiring and encouraging in covering every detail. Once up and running our work flow is now so organized and effective. Our ongoing relationship demonstrates how committed Buzz is to keeping rescues working efficiently with continued upgrades and new bells and whistles. It just keeps getting better.

Pros

The overall ease of use and powerful built in software is what every rescue needs to streamline administrative tasks to allow us to focus on the animals in our care and finding them homes. Every aspect of running a rescue; from care management, marketing dogs for adoption, fundraising, data management to adoption application and screening is so easy with a Buzz website. It changed our organization for the better after decades of laborious management. And the overall look and design of our site is amazing!

Cons

I have to think hard and long to find anything that we don't like about our Buzz software. Mostly because if there is something and it is clearly explained to Buzz we find a solution or work around! We find this collaborative relationship priceless.

[Shelter Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/179172/Shelter-Pro/)

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

Buzz provided the best overall look and user friendly product. The training to get up and running took no time at all and was so easy. The biggest reason was the incredibly professional and personal service provided by the Buzz team. They are equally passionate about saving lives by providing us with the most effective way to do so.

### "Buzz to the Rescues help us tame an administrative nightmare"

September 8, 2020

5.0

This is an organization that is actively growing their software. They are responsive to client problem, understand how rescue organizations work, and always willing to find ways to solve our problems. Great customer service!

Pros

For Mazatlan Animal Rescue, the best part of the software has been the integration between all of the different bits and pieces we used to manage individually. Our animal database is now integrated with our website, which means you only have to upload and manage animal information and photos once. Intakes, adoptions, foster homes, volunteers and donations are all managed through a single system instead of multiple systems, documents and spreadsheets. This saves us hours of admin work every week. Plus we really like the website that Buzz built for us... Check it out at \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]

Cons

As a Mexican animal rescue organization, there are a few parts of our business that didn't fit neatly into a platform that was originally built for American rescue organization. But \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] team worked with us to figure out how to make everything work, include Spanish translations for animal profiles and our website! The end result works very well for us.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

This product provided the most comprehensive approach, by far! It integrates all aspects of running a rescue organization... animal management, communications, adoptions, fostering, volunteer management and fundraising. Plus it does so in a way that still allows us a lot of flexibility.

### "Worth Every Penny"

January 18, 2021

5.0

provides clean, modern, and efficient software to run our dog rescue organization. They developed a custom website for us, which includes an online application portal for adopters, fosters, and volunteers. Behind the scenes, our volunteers are able to move applications and dogs through the various workflow steps. The software integrates with PetFinder and other common animal websites so that we only have to upload dog information in one location. This is a HUGE timesaver for our volunteers.

Pros

The value that brings to our organization is immeasurable. Through the software, we can manage dogs, applications, volunteers, photos, events... basically everything the dog rescue needs in order to function is integrated in the Buzz platform. As the technology advisor for the rescue, I had built a custom system to manage our dogs. What Buzz to the Rescues offered was far and above anything I could provide and I am so glad we switched over to their platform. The Buzz team was great to work with when transferring over our historical data. I was able to generate a spreadsheet of our previous applicants and dogs, and then the Buzz team helped me map the columns to their system. After that it was a simple upload. I can not recommend Buzz highly enough. Their software has helped our rescue to be more efficient and effective, and because of them we have been able to help more dogs in need.

Cons

The learning curve for new users was a little steep, but the implementation included zoom training so that hurdle was easily overcome.

### "A Nonprofit's Dream!"

March 21, 2023

5.0

Pros

Buzz has made everything so streamline and professional for our rescue group! The support from when we first reached out all the way to when we launched and beyond has been phenomenal. They work to make the site cater to your needs as a nonprofit and hold your hand as much as you need them too. The training, the customer service, everything was excellent. When we finally launched, we got such amazing feedback from the users on how professional our website looked and how easy it was to access everything they needed. Honestly, it's been a dream and I 100% recommend them to any rescue looking to update their website and database.

Cons

I'm required to fill this out but...I think my con doesn't even count. The only thing I wish they had was a more in depth volunteer portion to add ways to assign volunteers to events and have a space that they could log in and help us track their hours. However, they are working on the volunteer portion of their site so I don't see it being an issue for very long.

### "Total Package Solution"

February 20, 2023

5.0

Buzz has been excellent in all aspects. They have been very responsive to our questions, requests and problems. They have been excellent throughout the transition from our old website and database software and making our automated data flow out to the appropriate sites. We consider them a partner with our shelter and rely on them as part of our team.

Pros

This software was perfect for our shelter. We desperately needed a new website solution and also wanted to move away from Shelterluv. Buzz was perfect. It was very easily customized to suit our specific needs and the staff was excellent it assisting with the process. My staff was up and running on Buzz quickly, with very little training. It is intuitive and easy to use.

Cons

There isn't anything we don't like really. The biggest challenge for us has been building printable reports or forms. While we endeavor to move to a completely online process, it isn't practical at all times. The online applications aren't easily printed so we have to create them ourselves. Reports need to be built so we started with nothing printable. The online queries work fine, but aren't meeting all of our needs so we are in the process of having our necessary reports created.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

One of the main reasons we selected Buzz was the website component, as we desperately needed that. However, the decision was made after speaking directly with Laurie Paquette. Her passion for animal welfare and helping shelters made it clear that she would take care of us. The product demonstration was excellent and we knew we could replace our current system with something easy to understand and use.

They've been very easy to work with. Anytime you have a problem they quickly work to solve it.

Pros

The website is very easy to maintain and the support is amazing.

Cons

### "Customer service couldn't be better!"

January 26, 2023

5.0

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.

Reason 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.

### "Grateful for Buzz - Intuitive, responsive and very effective "

March 24, 2023

5.0

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

Having access to information on adopters, fosters and dogs in one place. Several people can be in our data base simultaneously.

Cons

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

Reason 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"

October 1, 2020

5.0

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 , 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.

Reason 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.

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.

Pros

The team diligently worked with us as newish tech-users. They were patient, timely, and address our novice questions thoroughly. They also worked at our pace which was deeply appreciated.

Cons

No cons. Their professionalism was outstanding throughout our experience, making this far less confusing and frustrating as imagined.

### "Game Changer for Rescues"

June 24, 2021

5.0

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!

Reason 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!

### "Easy and Fool Proof"

March 21, 2023

5.0

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 .

Pros

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.

5.0

I could not be happier with the service and the product. The owner of Buzz was there at every turn with training and attention. The software is built with flexibility and is ever-improving. The attention given to its clients is a big reason it is successful.

Pros

The personalized customer service. Personalized additions that were created just for our org. A can-do attitude even under pressure, fast replies from inquiries.

Cons

There are a few things that we were hoping for but can't be changed, but work arounds were recommended and worked for us in most cases.

### "All animal rescues, shelters, and sanctuaries should be using the Buzz Platform "

December 17, 2020

5.0

Since using the Buzz platform, our rescue has raised more money from donors than ever. Buzz paid for itself within the four months of signing on. Our volunteers were trained and using the platform within hours of launching. Our applications process is now seamless. We are much more organized and accountable. We have great data and records capture in one place.

Pros

We can now manage all of our adopter, foster and dog medical records and contracts in ONE place. The time our volunteers save daily is remarkable. The Buzz Group also designed our dog rescue a gorgeous new website that feeds information and donations directly into the backend platform. With Buzz, we no longer have to use variety of programs that don’t “speak to each other”. Looking back; our old way of doing things wasted so much precious time , caused a great deal of frustration and poor communication.

Cons

We weren’t able to move an applicants information from being an adopter to a foster and then to volunteer if necessary. To meet our needs, Buzz is introducing this functionality to all its users in the first 2021 quarter. This company is incredibly responsive.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

The video walk through opened our eyes to all of the benefits available with Buzz. It was designed for rescues - they understood our “business”. It was exactly what our rescue needed.

### "So easy to use. A must have!"

September 20, 2021

5.0

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

As a smaller, all volunteer organization with a mostly older demographic of volunteers, we really needed to find a database that was going to be intuitive, easy to use, and affordable. Additionally, it was especially important to find a solution that could manage all of our data on volunteers, animals, and donors under one roof. Buzz has been very easy to work with and we have especially appreciated the fact that there is a real human being that we can talk to for assistance as self-help was just never going to be an option for us again. We value the fact that \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team treat feedback as a gift in order to improve the user experience.

Cons

We would love to see Buzz build out functionality for Events, which would completely close the needs gap for our organization. We're looking forward to custom Reports.

### "Delighted we said yes!"

February 17, 2021

5.0

The Buzz team has been great to work with. This is the first time that our organization has worked with a software platform specifically designed for pet rescues. Our team has been overly satisfied with the product and look forward to continued integration as web design and creativity are ever growing. Buzz has excellent customer service and turn-around-times. Their \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is responsive to questions outside of business hours when necessary. That is a luxury we are delighted to have!

Pros

For Whiskers TNR of Warren county, the best thing for us has been the adoption management piece. Our adoption process has been streamlined and we have had great success with applicants finding ease with the process of completing their adoption application.

Cons

Some pieces of the website are not able to be edited on the user end. However, if a request is presented to the Buzz Team, edits can be accommodated to meet our needs.

Reason for choosing Buzz to the Rescues

One place for EVERYTHING! Buzz is our “go to” for adoption, foster, and volunteer management. Having one dashboard to house it all has been fantastic. The integration with Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, Found Animals, and PayPal has been wonderful. We look forward to utilizing the donation management options this year.
