Bring your mission to life with in-person events that inspire support.

Easy Event Creation: Build custom event pages, add details, sell tickets, track RSVPs and accept any form of payment.
Adoption-Ready Features: Print QR-enabled kennel cards or set up digital kiosks so visitors can view and support any animals, even if they're not at the event.

I cannot recommend Buzz highly enough. Their software has helped our rescue to be more efficient and effective, and because of them we have been able to help more dogs in need.
