Animal Welfare Professionals

I've posted in several discussion threads. The app I am building is close to being finished (well, for version 1) and brave shelters can try it. The only prerequisites are a Windows 10 or 11 PC with the Microsoft Access database program. This is part of Office in Microsoft 365 subscriptions so many of you already have it. If not, Microsoft has a free "runtime only" version you can install. If you want to have multiple people using it at the same time you'd also need a network with a share drive. It can also be configured to use a database in the cloud; Microsoft provides a $2000 annual credit for their service to qualified nonprofits, so that'd be basically free.

Briefly:

• Maintains a list of people who use the program. You can upload data from a spreadsheet if you already have a list. Going forward new people are added using a form.
• Maintains an inventory of animals owned by each person (dogs, cats, cat colonies). During or after each visit you can remove animals they no longer have and add any new ones. A report shows how many animals each person had over time (by month) so you can monitor for possible abusers or puppy mills.
• Maintains a list of food distributed to each person by species and type. You define the types you want to track e.g. "Dry dog food", "Dog food gallon bag", "Cat food large can", etc. You also define the equivalent number of pounds for each type (e.g., 0.25 lb for large can, 10 lb for gallon bag). A report shows the types of food distributed over time (by month) with equivalent total pounds. During or after each visit you can record what quantities of each type were provided on the specified date.
• "Raw" data (e.g., list of people, list of all food distributions, list of pets owned with date entered and date removed if applicable), etc. can be exported to Excel spreadsheets if you want to do your own analysis or tracking.
• You can define a list of sites if you are a multi-site organization, in which case clients are assigned to a site. This allows reporting by site.

It's kind of a hobby of mine, so any shelter can use it for free. The whole thing runs on your computers so there are no costs for anything like support or infrastructure (unless you want to use Microsoft Azure databases).

I'll try to post a more comprehensive description. In the meantime if interested comment or PM.

Thanks!

Thank you for creating & sharing this dashboard!

I am the secretary for a Pet Food Pantry and we are looking for a new database system to use. We currently use an excel spreadsheet, however we have out grown it and need something more put together & less clustered.  Does your database have a way to keep track of proof of need for each person?

Hi, the app (an Access app) does not now have this feature. I suppose I could add it, but that would depend on what you use as "proof of need". That may be a paper form they fill out? If so, you'd have to scan it to the PC. I am pretty sure Access has a way of attaching files such as a scnned-in PDF to a record in its database, but I have not yet explored this. If the proof-of-need is (say) something in a web based system, a document in a cloud file system like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Docs, etc. it would be possible to add a place (probably part of the "person" record) to save the URL that opens that document.

Very nice, thank you for sharing, Peter!  It's always exciting to see tools being be built for shelters for better data.

Just a quick note for anyone who's currently using Google Workspace for Nonprofits - our team has been working with the AppSheet platform to build out a program to help us better manage, track, and pull reports for our Care Connection Program, which includes food distribution to both individuals and partner agencies.  We've just started migrating over to it, so there's not much here yet, but we're very excited.  We also have had help in creating reports that should making reporting Community Services for Shelter Animals Count much easier for us.

It's been helpful for us since it connects directly to our existing Google Sheets and Forms.

Samantha - just saw this. I recently built an app on AppSheet that can be used to manage what dog is in what kennel, and display the status on a large monitor (think, like a flight status TV at an airport). It allows for moving dogs between kennels, intake of a dog first coming in, when each dog was walked, and dog attributes. I have been thinking of trying to convert the Access app I created for pantry food distribution to AppSheet. That app has so much code built in to trigger checks that I think it may be beyond the kinds of things AppSheet can handle. I would love to see more about your app.

Is this something that could be used to track amount of food we use in our organization? We don't have a pet food pantry but we want to track food usage for ourselves. 

------------------------------

------------------------------

You could, but it is designed to track food given to individuals so you can see how much of what type was given to each recipient. Whether it could be adapted for your usage would depend on how you want to track what you use. For example, you could create a single "fake" person and then assign all "outgoing" food dispensed to that "person". It does allow for each shelter to specify the types of food you suppy/use, and also what you consider the equivalent weight for non-bulk food - that allows for statistics that show total weight of food dispensed, regardless of its form (bulk, cans, etc.). If you want, send me a message and I can see what you want to do.

I am curious what the reason is in tracking how much food any individual is given in the course of a year?  We have always felt that preserving the users' anonymity made them more likely to take advantage of our program, and getting the food into the community is our goal.  I do understand quantifying the food that is given out, but please explain about tracking the people.  Thanks.

It is not so much tracking total per year, but month by month. We have limited supplies and sometimes don't have enough to give everyone what they want. The community engagement team decided to limit how much each recpient can get based on number and size of dogs, and number of cats, with an abolute maximum/month (I think it is now something like 60 lbs for dog food). The app helps to alert people who give out the food what the maximum allowed is, and if they come in too often. It is possible to look at amount given per person by month if someone wants to check retrospectively in case volunteers may be getting "too generous", though I have not yet create that report.

Hello Peter, my name is Angela Mills and I volunteer with Culpeper Humane Society in Virginia.

I think your application may be perfect and would like to give it a go if you are willing to share with me. Much appreciated!

I'd be happy to. It is built in Microsoft Access, which has proven to be a challenge for other organizations; some have IT departments that will not allow Access (part of Office) to be installed. I have also shown it to a few other interested parties and they felt it was a bit challenging to maintain.

Peter, this is a generous thing to build and give away, and the length of this thread says how many pantries are stuck on spreadsheets.

I want to add one angle for anyone reading, because you touched on it yourself when you mentioned thinking about a web version. I run Animal-Angels Foundation, and we built the web-based, networked version of roughly what this thread keeps reaching for. Food pantry distribution is one module in a shared platform called the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN): log the family once, list their pets, record what food went out by type with pound-equivalents, report by month and by site, and import from a spreadsheet. No Access install, nothing for an IT department to block, and it runs in a browser.

The reason we built it as a network instead of a standalone database is the part that matters most to us. A pantry visit is one of the few moments a struggling family actually shows up. In the AWRN, with the family's permission, that record is shared across partner organizations, so a pantry can hand someone to a spay/neuter clinic, a vaccine day, or vet help without re-entering data or making them retell their story.

On the question Johanna raised about tracking people, I am with her. We track to serve and to show funders the impact, not to police anyone. We deliberately do not build it around watching for abusers, because the moment a food line feels like a checkpoint, people stop coming. Access stays low-barrier by design.

It is free for in-kind community partners like a pantry. Happy to show anyone the food module and how the network hand-off works. PM me or grab a time at calendly.com/animal-angels.

We can schedule a Zoom, teams, etc. discussion and I can demo it.

I am considering trying to develop something similar but based on a Web app. If we do set up a demo of what I have, I can get some feedback from you on what features you would need.
