A Lifesaving Partnership
Waggle has been an incredible partner in helping us save the lives of dogs and cats in need. As an all-volunteer rescue organization, every dollar matters, and Waggle has connected us with compassionate supporters from across the country who make lifesaving medical care possible. Their team is wonderful to work with—they create professional, compelling fundraising campaigns using the information and photos we provide, making the entire process simple and stress-free. Because of Waggle and its amazing community of donors, countless animals have received the care they desperately needed and are now living happier, healthier lives. We are truly grateful for everything they do.

That is so wonderful to hear! We love knowing that you found the platform user-friendly and that you've been getting those updates on the pets you supported.
Seeing a pet's progress and knowing exactly how your generosity helped them recover is the best part of the journey. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful supporter and for helping us save so many lives! 🐾

Thank you so much for supporting animals in need! We completely understand that when you open your heart and donate to an animal's care, you naturally want to follow their recovery and celebrate their progress.
To get those updates, we have to rely entirely on the rescues to provide us with the information. Because these groups are so incredibly busy taking in and caring for the animals, they unfortunately don't always have the time to get in touch with frequent updates—as much as we would all love to hear how the pets are doing! Their hands are often full with the daily, around-the-clock care of the animals in their shelters.
Whenever you are looking for news on a specific pet you supported, you can always check their original campaign page on the Waggle website, as we post updates there just as soon as the rescue is able to send them our way. Additionally, the rescue posts a final update when the campaign has finished, which is emailed to its donors.
If you've created a donor account, you can save the campaigns you'd like to follow and the campaigns you've supported all in one place!
Thank you so much for caring so deeply about their journeys and for being such a patient, compassionate part of the Waggle family! 🐾
Thank you so much! Honest and transparent communication is incredibly important to us at Waggle. We know how much trust our donors place in us when they choose to help these sweet animals, and we always want to make sure you have the clear, accurate truth about where your generosity is going.
We are so grateful to have you as part of our community—your trust and support mean everything to us and the pets we serve! 🐾
I am so happy to give to Waggle to help other parents with the cost of medical care. It's hard to pass up the opportunity to financially help a sick or wounded pet. I trust Waggle to use the money wisely for the care of cats and dogs that need medical care and am thankful for the work they do. Keep up the wonderful work!

It is incredibly hard to see a sick or injured pet in need, and your kindness makes a direct difference for the families and rescues facing those medical bills. We are are very grateful to have you in the Waggle family.

I love what they do and I especially love the way you can follow a pet you may have helped out. Bless them, as it is a lot of work and can be heartbreaking.
Reply from Waggle2026-06-03
Thank you so much! Being able to follow a pet's journey and see the direct impact of your kindness is such a special part of this community.
You are so right—the work can definitely be heartbreaking at times, but seeing animals recover and get their second chance makes it all worth it. Your encouragement keeps our team and the rescues going. Thank you for your support! 🐾
I'm happy that Waggle does a great job in helping so many animals in great need. I'm glad to help out when I can.

Thank you so much for your support! We are so grateful that you choose to help out whenever you can. Thank you for having such a big heart and for being a vital part of the Waggle family! 🐾
It is very easy to donate using Waggle. I like that I can help the animals featured.
Reply from Waggle2026-06-03
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that you find the donation process easy. Being able to connect directly with the specific animals featured and see exactly who your generosity is helping is what Waggle is all about. We couldn't do this lifesaving work without kind donors like you. Thanks for being part of our community! 🐾
I appreciate your mission of helping animals but the fees I paid on my donation seem high and may discourage more people from donating.
Reply from Waggle2026-06-03
Thank you so much for your donation and for helping us save lives! We completely understand that seeing extra fees can be frustrating, and we want to be as transparent as possible about how we work.
At Waggle, we do things a bit differently to make sure your generosity is always fully protected. We are the only nonprofit crowdfunding platform just for pets that takes the extra steps to verify every rescue and veterinary hospital before funds are sent out. We also require invoices to be submitted and reviewed before any payments are sent.
As you can imagine, making sure everything is legitimate takes a lot of time, extra staffing, and operational resources. While traditional crowdfunding sites sometimes leave donors vulnerable to scams, we do this heavy lifting so you can rest assured that your hard-earned money is perfectly safe and going exactly where you wanted it to—right to that animal's care.
Like any nonprofit, we do have to cover these essential operating and administrative expenses to keep the platform running. But we believe in being completely upfront about it. That is why we show the exact breakdown of these fees and an explanation of them right there on the donation page before you hit "donate". We want to make sure you always know the precise amount going to the animal's care, with absolutely no surprises later on.
Thank you again for your support, and for helping us keep pet rescue safe, honest, and transparent! 🐾
I really enjoy using the Waggle website. Not only do I care about eliminating economic euthenasia, I care about the ill and injured animals getting the help they need. I find this site easy to use, and I feel good that the money I am donating is actually being used the help the animal(s) I selected.
Reply from Waggle2026-06-03
Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback! Ending economic euthanasia and giving these vulnerable animals a fighting chance is exactly why Waggle exists.
We are so glad the website is easy for you to use, and even happier that you feel confident donating. Making sure your hard-earned money goes directly to the veterinary care of the specific pet you chose is our top priority.
Thank you for your trust, your kindness, and for being such a vital part of this lifesaving mission! 🐾
I love helping the cats and dogs on Waggle! Wiggle is a wonderful website and safe for donating! The pets are mans best friend and part of our families. Its wonderful to feel I have helped an injured, sick, mistreated cat or dog
or an animal escape the pound and euthanasia. It's good to save lives. Donating through Waggle is safe,easy and makes me feel like I've accomplished something in life.
Reply from Waggle2026-06-03

Knowing that your generosity directly helps a sick, injured, or mistreated animal escape euthanasia and get a second chance at life is a wonderful feeling. You are accomplishing something truly extraordinary every time you donate: you are giving these sweet cats and dogs the gift of a future.
We are so glad you find Waggle safe and easy to use, and we are incredibly honored to have you on this lifesaving team with us. Thank you for your big heart and your wonderful support! 🐾

I can donate to a very good cause
I can donate to a very good cause. I feel donating was a very transparent process. I know what goes to the animals and what the fees are for waggle organization.
Reply from Waggle2026-05-20
Thank you so much! Transparency is incredibly important to us, so it means the world to know you felt confident and informed throughout the donation process. We want our community to know exactly how their generosity is making an impact. Thank you for your trust and for helping us support animals in need! 🐾
I am a senior on a limited income and donate when I can. But lately it’s almost everyday. I wish I could donate to everyone that comes along but I am not able to. Could you not send so many it’s just to hard to see them and know you cannot help all of them.
Thank you

Thank you so much for this feedback! We truly appreciate your incredible kindness and everything you have already done to help these animals. Please know that your support makes a real difference, but your own well-being comes first, and you should never feel guilty for not being able to help everyone.
It is completely understandable that seeing these urgent cases can feel overwhelming. We want to make this easier for you, and your note has inspired us to look into adding an option on our email preferences page so donors can easily choose to reduce the frequency of our emails.
Thank you again for your deeply caring heart! 🐾
Thank you so much for your support and for helping us save lives!

Super support concept, but missing PayPal as a payment option...
Overall great concept by paying for veterinary services for rescues. The only item preventing a perfect score was the absence of PayPal as a payment option.
Reply from Waggle2026-05-15
Thank you so much for the great review and for supporting our mission! We're thrilled you love the concept of our platform. We completely understand how convenient PayPal is, and we really appreciate this feedback as we look for ways to expand our payment options in the future. Thanks for helping us support rescues! 🐾
I honestly can’t fault them! I recently made a claim after my dog was hospitalised. My claim was processed and approved within 4 days with a lovely personalised message.
The cost of the treatment was a huge personal stress and the fact that it was dealt with so swiftly was amazing!
Outside of the claims process I find their premiums reasonable (though maybe less so next year now I’ve made a claim!) and their online portal is great and so easy use.
Reply from Waggle2026-05-15
We are so incredibly happy to hear that your dog is doing well and that your claim was sorted out so quickly! However, it looks like you might have accidentally left this review on the wrong page. We are Waggle, the nonprofit crowdfunding platform for veterinary care, rather than Waggel Pet Insurance. We highly recommend copying this wonderful feedback over to their page so their team can see it! Wishing your pup a speedy and continued recovery! 🐾
Payment is easy-to-use and I enjoy helping out our furry friends in need.
