Waggle is an outstanding organization to help those who are taking care of the most vulnerable animals on the streets, and in people's homes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are honored to support those who are rescuing animals from the streets or caring for them in their own homes. It’s a privilege to help provide a safety net for the most vulnerable. 🐾
Donation was quick and easy to make without any issues!
Thank you! We aim to keep the process as smooth as possible so the focus stays on the animals. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for creating this platform to help animals in need!
Thank you so much! It is truly an honor to provide a platform where animal lovers can come together to save lives. We are only able to do this work because of the incredible community of donors and partners like you. We’re so glad you’re a part of the Waggle family! 🐾
Very long process for them to even pay the vet, in which is very inconvenient when the funds are needed. They take out their cut of the funding which is understandable. However, taking out a $50 fee to process out the payment and send it to the vet is crazy to me. Would not recommend to anyone. Not to mention the headache it was to even close the campaign. I regret choosing to use this company.
We are sorry for the frustration. We offer all veterinary hospitals the option to receive ePayments, which are completely free of charge. A processing fee is only applied by our payment processor if a hospital chooses to receive a physical check instead. We pay providers directly to ensure donor trust, which does require a verification process and takes some time, but we are always looking for ways to streamline this for our users. We value your feedback.
Although I love waggle Our campaign manager is phenomenal. We have had great success w campaigns, and funding towards vet expenses. Part of running an animal rescue, is needing supplies for the animals in our care. Food, beds, toys, bones, litter etc. If a campaign was over funded, it was nice to have the outlet to use the funds for supplies we need in order to continue our rescue efforts. The recent changes w waggle policy, is upsetting to say the least.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback, and for your incredibly kind words about your Fundraising Consultant! We are thrilled that you've had such great success raising vital funds for your animals' veterinary care. Please accept our sincere apologies for any confusion! We want to reassure you that there have actually been no policy changes regarding overfunded campaigns. We completely understand how quickly the costs of food, litter, and daily supplies add up, and we still happily purchase wishlist items for your rescue using those excess funds. We are so incredibly grateful for your partnership and the tireless work you do every day. Thank you for being a wonderful part of the Waggle family, and we wish you continued success with your campaigns! 🐾
We are so grateful to Waggle and the fundraising campaigns to help the kitties. Amanda is our Waggle representative who has been helping us throughout. She's a shining star in the Rescue World. Thank you Amanda and Waggle!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We couldn’t agree more—Amanda is a true advocate for the animals, and we are so lucky to have her on our team. We’ll be sure to share your gratitude with her! It is a joy to help you support the kitties, and we’re honored to be part of their journey to health and happiness. 🐾
Operation Liberation is proud to give Waggle a 5-star review for the incredible support they provide to small rescues like ours. We specialize in taking in the most critical, urgent, and special needs cases—animals that are often overlooked or don’t have anywhere else to turn. These are the cases that require immediate medical care, significant resources, and a lot of heart. As a very small, foster-based rescue, our time and capacity are stretched thin simply providing day-to-day care and coordinating lifesaving treatment. Fundraising at the level required for these cases can feel overwhelming, and realistically, it’s not something we always have the time or resources to do effectively on our own. That’s where Waggle has been truly transformative for us. Their team, especially our senior fundraising consultant, takes the limited information we’re able to provide and turns it into thoughtful, compelling, and highly detailed campaigns. They understand how to tell each animal’s story in a way that connects with donors and inspires action—something we simply wouldn’t be able to do consistently without their help. Because of Waggle, we’ve been able to secure funding for animals who otherwise may not have had a chance. They’ve lifted a huge burden off our shoulders and allowed us to stay focused on what we do best: rescuing and caring for the animals who need us most. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and highly recommend Waggle to any rescue in need of meaningful, hands-on fundraising support.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! It is a true honor to partner with Operation Liberation. We know how much heart and energy it takes to pull those critical, special-needs cases through, and we are so glad we can take the fundraising weight off your shoulders. Our consultants love telling these stories, but the real magic is the lifesaving work your foster-based rescue does every single day. We’re proud to be in your corner!
I am not wealthy, but I love animals. The thought of an animal hurt and alone suffering is something that hurts me deep inside. Animals can’t ask for help, and they can’t help themselves when they are hurt. People and organizations reach out to Waggle when they encounter an animal that needs help … and the dollars I donate monthly, combined with the donations from so many like me, find their way to help them. The emails I receive every month show many severe cases, some so severe I cannot even bear to imagine their suffering. Waggle helps them to get better. It’s humanity, and I know my donations combined with others make a difference in real lives, that otherwise seemed hopeless. If I can help stop the suffering of an animal I don’t know or have never seen, with just some dollars every month, I am absolutely going to do that. Join me, help us make a difference and stop suffering. I feel good about every dollar I donate.
We are so moved by your words. It is donors like you—those who give from the heart to help a pet they’ve never even met—who make our mission possible. You are the reason these animals no longer have to suffer in silence. We are honored to be the bridge between your generosity and their recovery. Thank you for being such a vital part of the Waggle community and for choosing to make a difference!
Thank you so much for your monthly support!
Waggle saved a lot of our rescued animals. As a small but impactful nonprofit, we do not have a dedicated fundraising team. Waggle crowdfunding platform filled that gap. Their donor base are amazing. Most of our fundraising goals were met and we have amazing recovery and adoptions out of it. Thank you Waggle.
We are so happy to hear this! Being that 'missing piece' for small but mighty nonprofits is one of our favorite roles to play. It is wonderful to know that your goals were met and, even better, that it led to successful recoveries and adoptions. Thank you for the incredible work you do—we are honored to be your partner!
Waggle has been an incredibly valuable partner for us at Adopt A Cat Foundation, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support they provide. Having a dedicated fundraising consultant to bounce ideas off of has made a huge difference—not just creatively, but strategically. They help us gather and organize information, craft compelling campaigns, get them published quickly, and guide us through invoicing and closing campaigns seamlessly. The platform itself is user-friendly and effective, but what really sets Waggle apart are the features and promotions that actively drive visibility and donations. Because of this, we’ve been able to secure funding for countless animals in our shelter, significantly easing the financial burden of their care and allowing us to focus more of our resources where they’re needed most. Over the past year, the donations raised through Waggle have had a meaningful impact on our financial stability. They’ve truly helped us stay out of the red while continuing to say “yes” to animals in need. We highly recommend Waggle to any rescue or shelter looking for both a powerful fundraising tool and a supportive team behind it.
We are so moved by this! Knowing that our team and platform have helped your shelter stay financially stable while saying 'yes' to more animals is exactly why we do what we do. We truly value our partnership with your organization and are honored to help you craft those compelling stories. Thank you for the high recommendation and, more importantly, for the incredible work you do on the front lines every day!
Do NOT use this crowdfunding site. They claim they only work directly with the hospital for a more transparent transaction that reduces scams or frauds and yet hey have shady practices, not releasing funds that was legitimately raised. You get the run-around with customer support. You can't contact anyone by phone, only by chat. The site is challenging to navigate. They claim, you can close the fundraiser anytime, but yet you have to close within 3 months of raising the funds and they won't release the funds if it's been a year. Nowhere, was this stated when I originally signed up. Had I known this, I would have closed my crowd funding within 3 months. They take advantage of a vulnerable time when you are worried about not being able to pay for your veterinary bills. Go with other, more reputable crowd funding sites.
We are sorry for the frustration. As a nonprofit, we utilize an email-only support model to keep our operating expenses low, ensuring that more of every donation goes directly to helping animals. Our terms require campaigns to be closed and invoices submitted within 3 months to ensure funds are distributed responsibly and as intended. These guidelines are in place to maintain the transparency our donors expect. We regret that this process did not meet your expectations during a difficult time, and we value your feedback as we are always working to improve our communications and processes.
I love animals, especially dogs and cats, and think it is wonderful that someone thought of how the public could help pets whose loving owners cannot afford medical treatment.
We couldn't agree more! It’s heart wrenching when a loving pet parent faces a medical crisis they can't afford, and we’re so glad we can provide a way for the community to step in and help. Thank you for sharing our love for animals and for your support!
Vey Professional. The work they do is very important.
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words and are glad our professionalism stands out to you. We're proud to do this important work with your support!
This is a great charity! They love animals and provide great services!
Thank you so much! We love what we do, and we're thrilled that our passion for animals and our services have made such a great impression on you. Thanks for being part of the Waggle family!
Waggle is a fantastic organization. It's a brilliant platform solving a serious and dire problem I only recently came to know existed. A staggering and devastating number of people must euthanize their pets each year simply because they can't afford life-saving care. Waggle strives to reduce this "economic euthanasia" so more pets can survive and avoid needless suffering, and more families can enjoy more time with them. The reason I repeatedly give to Waggle is the platform’s security and high level of trust. I've read tons of stories about rampant fraud on crowdfunding sites, and I always feel a bit uncomfortable donating through them. I really appreciate that Waggle's founders built the entire operation on a highly secure platform, and it's also so smart that the money goes straight to the vets delivering care. This gives me comfort and confidence when I donate. I also love that excess funds are redirected to grants that save more pet lives. In an era where so much feels scammy or insecure, Waggle stands apart. Giving to Waggle always feels good. Pets are family, and they deserve healthcare, too. Waggle ensures they get it, securely and urgently.
Thank you for your incredible support and for highlighting such a critical issue. We created Waggle specifically to end 'economic euthanasia' and provide the security that traditional crowdfunding lacks. Knowing that our direct-to-vet payment model gives you confidence means the world to us. We agree—pets are family, and we’re honored to help get them the care they deserve!
Wonderful organization helping people & groups to give care to animals in need.
Thank you! We're so glad we can be a resource for both individuals and groups dedicated to animal welfare. We appreciate your support in helping to provide care to those who need it most!
Waggle is a great organization that collects and provides funds for animals that need critical medical treatment. Their website makes it easy to help the animals they profile.
Thank you! We work hard to ensure our website makes it as easy as possible to support animals in urgent need. We appreciate you sharing your experience and helping us provide these pets with a second chance at a healthy life!
Waggle does the work with the money they’re given. It is that simple. They help animals with the donations they receive, which is why I have complete trust in their mission and am a proud supporter of this organization.
Thank you! We believe in keeping things simple: putting every donation to work exactly where it’s needed. Your trust is the foundation of everything we do, and we’re so proud to have you standing with us and the animals we serve.
Professional Brief, succinct
