The Shelterluv Effect

## McKamey Animal Center

Thanks to a smooth onboarding experience and user-friendly software, McKamey Animal Center was more efficient from day one.

### Transition and onboarding

"The Shelterluv team was incredibly helpful and happy to talk through all of our process questions. It made switching from ShelterBuddy a breeze!"

*said Becca Ross, Ops Director*

### Less training thanks to user-friendly software

"When the adoptions counter got busy, I was able to jump in and help process adoptions without ever having been trained on it before. It was so easy that I figured it out on my own!"

*said Suzanne D'Alonzo, the Director of Animal Care. The team expects to save hours in training time each month.*

### Streamlined kennel management

"Having heavy volume and a steady stream of arrivals means that an open cage is a hot commodity! That's why the Location Survey report—which shows which kennels are available vs occupied—has been instrumental in streamlining our intake process. That report also helps us quickly identify and fill any openings on the Adoption Floor,"

*said Suzanne.*

### Efficient transfers

"We couldn't believe how quickly we were able to complete transfers in and out of Shelterluv compared to our previous software: full animal records show up in our system with just the click of a button! The time we will save with Shelterluv will be invaluable,"

*said Suzanne.*
