You may remember this time last year - just before the holiday adoption period when shelter activity picks up, you get saddled with the task of compiling the year-end reports. You vowed that next year you would get organized and look for a shelter software program that would make these tasks easier. After all, spending hours upon hours pouring over your paper files or spreadsheets to compile animal numbers was a daunting task and not the best use of your time. Unfortunately, your stomach is now in knots because you realize it will soon be starting all over again and you are no better prepared than you were last year.
It’s time for a better data management system! Perhaps the paper file system is no longer feasible or maybe the database or spreadsheet you are using just isn’t working as well as you’d like. You’ve considered the costs and realize you cannot afford the price tag and/or cannot afford the annual licensing and support fees that come with most of the available shelter software programs. What other options are there?
At Pethealth, we’ve compiled a software support team with direct experience working in animal shelters. Many of us have been in your position and understand exactly what you are going through and stand ready, willing and able to help you reach your goals. We can help explain your software options and help you determine whether the PetPoint shelter software system is the best program for your operation.
Having been designed by veteran shelter personnel, PetPoint is easy to learn, easy to use and requires only a computer and a high speed internet connection. This means faster, easier staff and volunteer training and with PetPoint’s free technical support, additional, on-going help is only a phone call away!
PetPoint was designed to save you time and money by simplifying many of your daily processes including intake, medical and behavioral assessments, treatments, transfers, foster care and outcomes such as adoption. In fact, PetPoint not only allows you to record all animal and people information required during an adoption process, it also allows you to generate your adoption contract and associated receipts, automatically enrolls the adopter in the ShelterCare insurance program and registers the pet’s microchip in the 24PetWatch registry. As an added bonus, PetPoint has the ability to automatically provide your Petfinder.com site with hourly updates, saving you the time and expense of handling this manually.
Better, easier and more thorough data capture means better data retrieval and management. There are now over 65 reports built-in to PetPoint, all of which enable you to easily compile animal flow statistics, mailing labels and other essential reports. Whether you need to locate an available foster parent, determine if someone is on your “do not adopt” list or record breed requests, PetPoint can handle it all. You can quickly measure animal “lengths of stay”, print required treatment reports and surgery schedules and quickly view person and animal “histories”. You can even see what animals you currently have in your shelter and foster homes sorted by location and animal type. With the new Case and Licensing modules, PetPoint is perfectly suited for Animal Control and Humane Law Enforcement groups. PetPoint provides you with data management capabilities you never before imagined!
There is no better time to get the information you need and to schedule a demo of PetPoint than right now, before the New Year rolls around! In most instances, the PetPoint team can assist you in configuring PetPoint and assist with staff and volunteer training in as little as two weeks. Imagine, that in just two weeks you could have instant access to your intake and adoption numbers, adopter information and animal medical records using any computer with internet access. Imagine your shelter having accurate information in moments rather than months. Imagine yourself at this time next year, able to spend less time flipping through paper forms and records and more time enjoying the holidays.
