Operations, Finance Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game Changer - Trackabeast Improves Efficiency - Amazing Value" July 12, 2025 5.0 Going from Excel spreadsheets, trying to remember details, coordinating with various volunteers, TRACKABEAST has been a GAME CHANGER!! Our organization has been able to grow quickly thanks to this great app; we couldn't do it without Trackabeast! Some of our 'favorite' features include animal details to help plan for vaccinations, spay/neuter and reminders to stay on schedule not to mention attaching medical documents. We are able to provide professional looking Medical History reports to our adopters. And we've been able to track down owners of lost kitties with microchip data captured. The various ways to filter the data allow us to quickly 'know our numbers' be it total number in our care, how many are pending adoption / adopted and easily list which kitties are located with which fosters! The applications feature includes various stages and memos that helps our adoption counselors to track their communication with potential adopters. Overall, our business process efficiencies have greatly improved thanks to Trackabeast. Pros Great app to see most everything in one system at an amazing low cost! The application feature for potential adopters, volunteers and fosters has really been a great efficiency in tracking details! So easy to navigate. Love the download capability to allow 'slice and dice' the data with Excel. And the Customer Service is AMAZING! Very quick to answer questions, research issues and solve any hiccups!! PS - Having access to an actual 'real' demo database prior to signing up was fantastic! It allowed me to 'play' on my own using my own data to better understand the features before making a decision. Cons No concerns. It does require a little patience when using on a cell phone as there is a lot of data that you may need to scroll through.

And the customer support was amazing before choosing Trackabeast!! Review Source KB Kelley B. Executive Director Animal Rescue Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Trackabeast!" July 12, 2025 5.0 Pros We have been using this program for many years and it is the best! so user friendly, very reliable and if I ever have a question tech support (\[sensitive content hidden\] ) gets right back to me. We love Trackabeast! Cons I wish we could customize it a bit more so we could get rid of some fields we don't use and I still haven't figured out how to link it to Petfinder Review Source RM Rebecca M. Board member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sixteen years" July 12, 2025 5.0 It is a great way to track our animals, adopters, volunteers, and donors. It is literally our brain for the history it contains. Pros It has our historical data since 2009 and has continued to add capability to the system. We have multiple users and it is fairly easy and intuitive to use. Cons I wish they would have the ability to open multiple tabs. It gives a warning message when you try to do it but it would be good to have more than one tab open. Review Source JL James L. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best animal rescue group software" July 14, 2025 5.0 We have had a great relationship with Trackabeast for over 20 years and it has met all our needs. Excellent performance and customer service Pros Everything. Trackabeast met all our needs for our non profit feline rescue group and customer service was excellent. Easy to use and very economical. Cons There is nothing negative I can say about trackabeast as it has been a perfect resource for our feline rescue group Review Source VB Vicki B. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily volunteer & board member" July 12, 2025 5.0 Whenever support is needed, \[sensitive content hidden\] is always responsive and helpful! Pros Like that everything is in one place! The system is user friendly. Cons Would like the ability to customize. Example Add a spot to add fecal results or fecal reminders. Would like to be able to search by street address. Would like more room for vaccinations. (3 is not enough). Review Source KM Katie M. Codirector and cofounder Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All our data in one place and accessible!" July 13, 2025 4.0 Pros Gives us the opportunity to log all our human and animal data in one place. It’s pretty mobile friendly, and keeps us pretty organized. Cons I think the medical record tracking could be more robust. And I sometimes struggle with placements section. Review Source Response from Trackabeast July 16, 2025 Hi Katie - can you tell me more about your struggles with the placement section? NH Nancy H. Treasurer / Board member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trackabeast was the perfect database for our cat rescue organization." March 28, 2022 5.0 Periodically, we would run across some sort of organizational need that would make me think, "Gee, it would be nice if we could do that with Trackabeast." I'd get in touch with Trackabeast owner,\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], and she would make it happen. It's really hard to imagine that level of customer service nowadays, but you get it with Trackabeast. Pros We were an all volunteer rescue group, so we knew whatever database we chose was going to be used by busy people without expertise in databases and who worked 40 hours a week or more at their real jobs. We needed a database that was intuitive, easy to use and covered all the bases of rescue work. Trackabeast fit the bill to a tee. Cons I can't think of anything that I wasn't pleased about with this software. Reason for choosing Trackabeast Trackabeast offered a try-it-out type of database, and once our board (all people without great experience with databases) used it, we were sold due to its ease of use and the cost. Review Source JA Jennie A. K911 admin Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love this software. User friendly helps manage rescues data in one place. " March 25, 2022 5.0 I love trackabeast i am the main user of this software for our rescue and i can't say enough good things about the ease of use and all the medical info being right there easy to use quick to update info and manage medical info on each animal. If i ever had a question i would email \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and have great customer service she has always helped me out. I would recommend this product to any animal rescue or vet service Pros The data management is top priority and it delivers and goes above and beyond. we can manage our animals, foster, and volunteers all in one place. Im technically challenged and this is so easy to use and manages all our rescue needs in one place. From medical charting to organizing our fosters and volunteers information. Love that is is linked to Petfinder and helps coordinate quick adoptions for our rescue animals. Helps keep admin organized as multiple people can use the software and access medical information on our animals at any time. No need to go to an office to pull charts to verify info its all at your fingertips. Its very efficient and easy to use i would recommend to any rescue, animal shelter, or vet office. Love the pre-set frequently used information for medical needs all you need to do is quick clicks and add dates ect. Cons There really isn't anything that i don't like about it I have not yet come across anything that is a negative. Review Source JH Jane H. database administrator Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review from an animal rescue" March 29, 2022 5.0 Believe it or not, before Trackabeast, our shelter was run on a spreadsheet (???). Having all our animals' information in a database that more than one volunteer can access has been a God-send. We are now able to track everything that happens with each animal while it is in our case. The feature to be able to scan and upload the animals' records is pretty impressive as well. Pros We can access each animal's record in seconds. We can also pull numbers for just about any kind of data we need with a few mouse clicks. It is very easy to do our monthly reports. Cons I can't think of anything I don't like about Trackabeast. Reason for choosing Trackabeast rather intuitive user interface, easy to make minor modifications per our needs Review Source MM Marion M. Director of Administration Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trackabeast: Loyalty and Professionalism Beyond Compare" March 28, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Trackabeast is rated at an A+! We are a small non-profit organization and this software offers many features that we just don't have the need to use since we are so small. But they are wonderful for their bigger clients. We don't plan on EVER switching to another software, especially since their customer service is impeccable and very responsive. Pros We have been using this software almost from its inception.\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], the Administrator and Creator, has ALWAYS been available for all questions and suggestions. The customer service is the best ever. They are continually striving to integrate new things into their software that will better serve all of their customers. This software is extremely user-friendly, and it encompasses all aspects of data base management that my organization was looking for. Cons I really don't feel like there are any cons to this software. Since my organization has been a Trackabeast client from the "get-go," I have seen this system go from some learning pains in the very beginning to a smooth, well-oiled system currently. Down times are few and far between and customer service is superb. Reason for choosing Trackabeast Not applicable Review Source LS Linda S. Board of Directors, Treasurer Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Track A Beast Rocks!!" March 27, 2022 5.0 As previously mentioned, most of us use it daily and so appreciate the way it’s made our collection of data almost seamless. Additionally, customer service is top notch!! Our input is always sought; and any questions, concerns or troubleshooting needs are immediately addressed, even though most of those are user errors! TAB is always striving to improve!! Pros We have immediate access to information regarding all dogs in our system (past and present), adopters, fosters, donors and organizations! Initial implementation was slow at first until everyone became more and more comfortable utilizing TAB’s features; and I’m happy to say we are almost totally there! (Of course, any software is only as good as the timely input by its users!!) Cons Not all of the fields are relevant to our needs, and not sure if there is a way to hide them…guess we need to ask!! Reason for choosing Trackabeast There were t that many from which to choose at that time (over ten years ago!) However, another sister rescue organization suggested TAB; and \[ Sensitive Content \]was so helpful in allowing us a trial period with guidance along the way! Glad we made the decision to use TAB! Review Source DM Deborah M. Director/Store owner/ Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "?" March 25, 2022 4.0 Good , its has been helpful in ensuring that we not only know where animals are, and what medical care has been given or is due for follow up Pros Once we started putting tattoo numbers in the same place that the chip numbers go , we were able to track cats easily by searching the tattoo number. This is an important feature for us , it helps track the owners of cats that are lost, are surrendered to the SPCA or at a veterinary hospital with no owner present. Using chips is not used in our area , we do not have a machine to read chips. Cats found by people just trying to help a cat they found injured or lost need to be able to read a tattoo in order to find the owner. Cons I haven't been using the program a lot this year , mostly because of covid and because of our 10 year free spay and neuter program that greatly reduced the cats and kittens needing our help. I just pulled up the program and see some major changes have taking place. The adoption for viewing cats that are inactive I could not readily see, when I did find the advance search and filter I couldn't seem to activate it , so I could look at all the animals that have come though the rescue. Review Source Response from Trackabeast March 28, 2022 Hi Deborah - Thank you so much for posting a review and giving us your feedback. I just wanted to let you know that the Animal Profile page has a dedicated field for Tattoo# so you should not have to use microchip, though there is no harm in it. You can search for either number in the main search bar. To search for inactive animals, click the carat for advanced search and check the box "Inactive". You can add "Adopted" to that same search all adopted and inactive animals will be in your list. I'm sorry if the new screens are giving you trouble. Please feel free to write me at carrie@trackabeast.com with questions. JG Jamie G. Cat Team Medical Director Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product for Rescues" March 25, 2022 5.0 Pros TrackABeast is easy to learn and use, and is a great way to track animals. We use it daily to add new animals, new adopters and adoptions, and all of their medical care (vaccines, tests, sterilization, microchip, etc) Cons Some of the processes could be more automated, such as registering micro chips with Home again. I believe that’s a feature in development. Some of the reporting could be a little bit more user-friendly. Review Source BP Becky P. Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Track a Beast is the Best" May 3, 2022 5.0 TaB and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] have been very responsive to our needs and always reply to any request within hours. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is very easy to work with and has been an excellent resource. She is always open to suggestions to make the product better. Pros We started with TaB in 2008 and it greatly simplified our method of handling incoming and outgoing dogs. While we had to rely on paper records and phone calls to exchange info on dogs in the system before TaB, with TaB we were able to create records that all personnel could access on the internet. No more digging thru files to find one vet record or adoption application, it was all available on TaB. Cons Most of the features offered are very intuitive to use, but you do need to enter new records in a certain order which takes longer. Review Source SM Sarah M. Volunteer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential tool for animal rescue work" May 16, 2022 5.0 Pros Trackabeast has helped Much Love Animal Rescue place thousands of rescued animals with loving forever families. We use it to keep track of animal intake, placement status, medical information, and more. The software itself is indispensable, but the best thing about Trackabeast is the responsiveness of the developer. Her response time is lightning-fast and she is able to make changes and adjustments that tailor our database to our unique needs. Cons Can't think of any cons, because any time we've needed to make a change or improvement it's been taken care of immediately. Review Source LM Lenci M. President - Voluntary Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "GDR trackabeast review" May 3, 2022 5.0 Overall, we use Trackabeast but probably not to the capacity we could. This is because as a voluntary organisation, time is limited to explore all the options and integrate them into our daily routines. Pros It took time to enter data from years previous but since then is easy to use on a daily basis. The most recent changes are great Cons We cannot change the date to Australian. Not a big deal but need to think about entering Reason for choosing Trackabeast Trackabeast seem to offer a better range of options and be quite user friendly Review Source Response from Trackabeast May 11, 2022 Hi - thank you for reminding about the date issue. I will bump it to the top of the list. AS Amy S. Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foster-based pet rescue loves Trackabeast!" March 25, 2022 5.0 We use it daily to track our dog and cat medical and intake records. Pros I need easy. I'm not very technologically competent and Trackabeast is so user-friendly, it really makes taking the 200+ animals we save in a year easy (at least the recordkerping portion!) Cons My issues are usually user error :) When we have issues, the Trackabeast team is very responsive. Review Source HT Helen T. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Claws and paws review " September 7, 2022 5.0 Pros It’s ready to use, and it keeps track of our medical costs, plus donations. Cons I don’t care for the modern view of the database, however, am content to use the classic view. Therefore, will be happy as long as they continue to offer the classic view. Review Source TW Tracy W. Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trackabeast" May 3, 2022 5.0 Wonderful. Very responsive and willing to listen to suggestions. Pros It is easy to use. It interacts with other programs. The mobile app is easy to read and use. Cons Uploading documents. Can only do one at a time. Would like to be able to email medical records directly instead of having to download to PDF. Reason for choosing Trackabeast Easier to use and better pricing. Review Source DI Dawn I. Volunteer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Support is the BEST" May 9, 2022 5.0 App is extremely dependable and easy to use, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] provides the best support for any type of question or issue! Pros A real person on the phone or email with help, no waiting and super efficient Cons When adding records would be nice to easily “go to next” record without starting at the beginning. Reason for choosing Trackabeast Ease of use & filters Review Source MH Michelle H. Co-Founder Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TAB Review" May 3, 2022 5.0 Wonderful. Pros We have been using TAB for 6 years and love it. It is easy to use and customer service is very responsive. I would recommend it to any small to large animal rescues. Cons There is nothing I don't like about TAB. Review Source TC Tiffany C. Medical Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dog rescue database" May 4, 2022 4.0 Pros Clean way to track our database of our dogs.

Fundraising features Review Source GB Ginny B. puppy coordinator Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pawsome" May 3, 2022 5.0 Trackabeast has made it very easy for us to track all the aspects of our rescue organization. Volunteer and foster information as well as dog and adopter info is easy to get to and helps keep us organized. Pros Trackabeast is user friendly and information is presented organized intelligently with easy access to what ever I happen to need. Cons I wish that reminders would present as a single pop up when I log in.
