At Mountain Pet Rescue, we've been using iShelter for several months. Before selecting, I consider many different software systems to keep track of our pets, fosters, adopters and volunteers. We selected iShelter for the following reasons and have been very happy with it. We couldn't keep track of our activities without it.
- Web-based - We needed many people to have access.
- Automatic applications - We wanted people to be able to fill out applications on-line and have the information automatically entered in the software system
- Ease of use - We wanted to be able quickly enter the basic data and then return to complete the data later. Some software requires users to enter lots of data before they can save the pet in the system.
Best of all, our volunteers who typically don't like dealing with computers easily learned how to use it and are teaching others.
- Flexibility - While developed for shelters, it is flexible enough that we can easily modify it for our rescue use.
- Cost - Very affordable for "small" rescues.
Like other software, it's not perfect, but the developers are working on our suggestions.

Thanks to all of you in the rescue world who are helping to save these homeless pets and find them forever homes.
