Dear Shelter,

PetPoint has had an incredible first year and has rapidly become the fastest growing shelter software program in North America! We now welcome five to six new organizations to the PetPoint family each week as a Licensed User. Just two months ago, we celebrated our 100th Licensed User of PetPoint - the MCPAWS Regional Animal Shelter in McCall, Idaho, and now have over 150 licensed users of PetPoint! Once licensed to use PetPoint, an organization can fully customize it for their use and be using it for daily operations within days or weeks!  We've added three new staff members to train & support our ever-growing family during 2005, and continue to provide feature updates each month to PetPoint based on user requests and input.

So, what better way to bring our first year to a close than by celebrating yet another milestone - the 100th organization  within our family of Licensed Users to fully implement PetPoint for daily operations! We congratulate the Humane Society of Weld County in Evans, CO for being our 100th organization to get PetPoint customized and in place for day-to-day use.

The PetPoint implementation team began working with Weld County’s Director of Operations, Kim Ott and with President, Steve Clink at the end of November. In just a few short weeks and in the middle of the holiday season, the team assisted both Kim and Steve in configuring PetPoint to their specific needs and with training their staff. As an open-door facility, the Humane Society of Weld County handles over 6,000 animals and facilitates the adoption of over 3,000 animals each year making the implementation of new software no small feat for their staff!

PetPoint replaces Weld County’s antiquated software program and since the shelter uses the ShelterCare insurance and 24PetWatch microchip programs, shelter adoption staff can easily enroll dog and cat adopters in the ShelterCare program, register the pet’s microchip information with 24PetWatch and print their adoption contract and associated receipts all in one easy step.

According to Kim Ott, "PetPoint has been the easiest, most user friendly program I have come across in the 20 years I've worked in the pet industry. The program was so easy to set up, I had it 90% set up within one day. With PetPoint we are able to track our animals more accurately and efficiently and it freed up a full time employee, not to mention far better customer service. I would recommend this program to any organization. The program tools will make reporting, day-to-day operations, and customer service simple and efficient."

Regardless of whether your organization is similar to or much different than the Humane Society of Weld County, you don’t have to wait to get started with PetPoint. After all, the only thing you have to lose is the endless paper forms you now complete for each animal intake and adoption, the hours you spend rifling through file drawers for paper records and the time it takes to compile your year-end reports by hand! PetPoint has a wealth of features to make the necessities of your job easier and save you time and money in the coming year!

As we look back on 2005 and look toward 2006, we’d like to thank each of our many PetPoint users and to hope that you join us in the New Year. We have many exciting changes in store including the release of PetPoint Version 2 in spring of 2006, which will include humane law enforcement functionality, license registration, expanded person profiles (such as potential adopter surveys), and much more!

Get an early start on your New Year's resolution to improve your group's operations this coming year.  Whether you are looking to computerize your operations for the first time or are just unsatisfied with your current software system, give us a call 866-630-7387 or email us at info@petpoint.com and take that very important next step towards joining the PetPoint family.
