Animals
Names, species, breeds, identifiers, locations, and statuses—with existing animal codes preserved.
Switching from Shelterluv · PetPoint · spreadsheets
Bring the animals. Bring the history. Leave the lock-in.
The scariest part of switching shelter software is losing records and Shelter Animals Count continuity. Migration is treated as a product workflow, previewed before anything commits.
How it works
Four passes, one guided migration.
Export from the current system. goodDingo maps the incoming formats, previews every pass, and keeps batches reversible while the records are being verified.
People
Adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers, including the relationships that connect them to animals.
Medical history
Vaccinations and treatments matched to each animal by stable identifiers and reviewed exceptions.
Historical outcomes
Past adoptions, transfers, and returns mapped to Shelter Animals Count categories.
The other direction
And if you ever leave?
One click in Settings downloads the records you own—animals, people, adoptions, medical, outcomes, and donations—as plain CSV files in a ZIP. No export fee, support ticket, or exit interview.
Export everything (.zip) → plain-CSV files → openable by standard tools, without a proprietary reader.
Before you commit
Ask the awkward migration questions.
Source inventory
We start with the systems, exports, record counts, and identifiers that need to move.
Dry-run preview
Review mapped samples and count totals before any migration batch is accepted.
Exception report
Unsupported, missing, or ambiguous fields are named for review instead of silently dropped.
Acceptance checklist
Your team agrees on samples, totals, access, and sign-off criteria before the move is complete.
Data access, retention, and deletion expectations are reviewed during onboarding. See the published security and data practices.
