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.

Pros: I like to be able to look things up anywhere online, being able to get pets home from home is easier. I like the website with so many options to have things added.
Cons: I like to do things myself when I can, it would be nice to know how to do it all so I can fix things as needed.

Pros: [sensitive content hidden] is the most patience "teacher" I have every worked with. I initially had NO experience editing websites and her teaching ability surpassed my expectations.
Cons: None. I don't think there are any cons associated with Buzz.
Debbie H. · Volunteer Coordinator · Non-Profit Organization Management · December 8, 2023
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!
Lesley M. · Lead Foster Coordinator · Veterinary · April 28, 2023
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.
Elaine S. · Vice President · Non-Profit Organization Management · April 11, 2023
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.
Patti k. · Marketing · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 24, 2023
Terrific personal experience. I feel like they care and genuinely understand every struggle. Going above and beyond
Pros: I believe I've covered this. It's essential for me to keep track of my dogs and they make it easy to go back and reach out to the adopter for updates and further information
Cons: Not that I know of. I'm pleased so far with the service
Pamela S. · President · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 21, 2023
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.
Elena W. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 21, 2023
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.
Molly M. · Secretary · Non-Profit Organization Management · March 21, 2023
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.
Lee T. · PAWS Board Member · Veterinary · March 21, 2023
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.
Janean L. · Rescue Admin · Non-Profit Organization Management · February 28, 2023
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.
Hope W. · Chairman · Civic & Social Organization · February 20, 2023
Pros: The software is easy to use and information is easy/quick to find. The information is organized and the software asks the questions all non profit rescues will ask the potential adopters/volunteers/fosters. I like how we can input in our own notes/information too as we discuss the applications with applicants. I love the system as it saves us a lot of time and is a great program! Highly recommend!
Cons: I really like the software, and cannot think of any cons at this time.
Uecker M. · volunteer · Non-Profit Organization Management · February 14, 2023
Pros: 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.
Camille R. · Board Member · Non-Profit Organization Management · February 10, 2023
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.
Amanda A. · Post-adoptions coordinator; Foster home · Veterinary · January 26, 2023
Buzz to the Rescues 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 Buzz to the Rescues 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 Buzz to the Rescues 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.
Tania L. · Co-founder · Professional Training & Coaching · January 23, 2023
Pros: The ease of applications process and working through them.
Cons: It continues to be extremely slow in processing requests, lack of customizability, lack of support for integrations.
Leslie H. · Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · January 3, 2023
Pros: I love this software I wouldn’t know how we would function without it
Cons: There are a lot of things that we don’t use in our a necessary that I would like to remove
Conrad M. · Dog placement · Philanthropy · January 12, 2022
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
Anonymous User · Barista · Food & Beverages · September 20, 2021
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!
Dana R. · President · Non-Profit Organization Management · June 24, 2021
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: The issues with importing all of our past pets over was hard, but they took care of that for me.
Jenifer D. · President · Non-Profit Organization Management · May 31, 2021
We are grateful to Buzz to the Rescues for creating this software so that we can better manage our adoptable pets & get them into forever homes.
Pros: Customer service is top notch! We love working with Buzz to the Rescues!
Cons: There is nothing I would change, very happy with this software!
Kerri K. · Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · May 30, 2021
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.
Joni C. · President · Non-Profit Organization Management · May 28, 2021
Upgrading to Buzz to the Rescue software has been huge for our rescue since we really do work with it each and every day, and I have loved the ease of the overall experience. I feel very proud of our website, and the day-to-day experience of building it together was a very positive one for us. I also know there are so many more upgrades to come - so I think we will only continue to appreciate it more and more over time, which is saying a lot! I am so glad we found them and get to work with them, and I would VERY highly recommend them to anyone.
Pros: I love the look and feel of the website design, layout and the connected software, as well as the brilliant efficiency of entering/modifying data that is immediately populated on the front-end of our site. It has also been particularly great to work with Laurie because she is not only SO responsive but also has great ideas, suggestions and is simply enjoyable to interact with, as well. (Which matters when you are mot a software tech but still need to do software tech things!)
Cons: We are still finding some bugs but they often appear after we have asked for adjustments or there are upgrades, all of which only improve the overall amazing software experience, so it feels like little temporary setbacks in the face of consistently forward progress.
Tamara L. · Executive Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · May 27, 2021
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.
