  • 1.  ShelterLuv vs. Shelterbuddy and Adopets

    Posted 13 days ago

    Hello! 

    Does anyone have experience with ShelterLuv,  Shelterbuddy and Adopets? If so, which software system would you recommend or would recommend against and why? Any other systems you recommend instead and why? Hoping to find an intuitive system supporting virtual adoptions and many tasks, such as tracking behavioral and medical evaluations, medical procedures for both shelter and public animals, offsite adoptions, fosters, offsite doggie day trips, and much more. 

    Background in a nutshell: 1500+ annual intakes, low cost clinic servicing public clients through TNR, S/N and wellness, full-service clinic for shelter animals, offsite adoption events, foster program including doggie day trips, municipal contracts, community partnerships, humane law enforcement division, volunteers, camp, and more! 

    Thank you!

    Our shelter uses Shelter LUV and they are pretty good but they have a new credit card processor called stake and we're having a difficult time getting them to allow us to use the credit cards processing feature.  They required all kinds of paperwork and then they said we went over 90 days to get it all turned in and they made us start all over again. I submitted have to submit everything again like we never did it before we're still waiting to get approved it's been at least a year that we've been trying to get credit card service! And it's not like we're a new customer we've been with shelter love for probably four years but for some reason they got this new provider or whatever and it's horrible so that's my thing on that but other than that, it's great software and very inexpensive and you could do medical documentation adoptions, all kinds of variety of things you could do you could've processed adoptions without them being in front of you!

    Take a look at AnimalsFirst too. It's easy to use, highly customizable, and innovative software plus portals for adopters and foster parents. It's integrated with Stripe for credit cards but you can use a different processor, if you like. There are mobile and manual checkout processes to support adoptions on site and off site, via adopter's mobile device, kiosk, or the organization's own devices.

    We use ShelterLuv and it seems to work for our organization. We have both cats and dogs and a few locations, so it keeps everyone connected. I like that it is easy to maintain profiles of animals as well as keep track of meds and notes. We also like that other shelters in our area use it, so it is easy to transfer animals to their new location.
