RescueGroups.org Newsletter 1/19/2010

We realize we just sent a newsletter last week, but there are a couple more things we wanted to let you know about. Also, we need your feedback! As you already know, we rely heavily on feedback from our animal welfare partners, so we really appreciate your taking the time to send us your ideas!

Website Service Update Coming Soon

We're adding a lot of new features to our website service. These are mostly features that have been requested by our partners, so keep those ideas coming!

Some of the things we are adding: web page music and backgrounds, HTML in success stories, news, events, and memorials, online forms PDFs, Facebook and Twitter affiliates, and a lot more!

Please visit our blog for a list of the features we're including in the update, and for more information.

Pet Fields

We need your help with some of our pet fields. Right now we track pet information like good with kids, house trained, etc. We want to add additional fields, but only the ones that you would want to see on your own website, in your RescueGroups.org Toolkit, and on the adoption listing websites.

So what fields would you like to see? Maybe fence recommended, or grooming required? Others? Please email us with your ideas.

Pet Exports (and Petfinder Sync App)

Don't forget to check your animal exports page on a regular basis! We recently discovered a group of organizations that didn't know they had disabled some of their exports!

To check your exports from the Pet Adoption Portal click on Exports.

From the Website Service go to Animals > Exports > Exports.

From the Manage website go to Animals > Exports.

Also, don't forget to use the Sync App to update Petfinder if your updates were cutoff last September. If you're not sure if your Petfinder update is currently running please check your Exports page. Check out this blog post for more information about the Sync App.

Please let us know if you need help with any of your exports. We're always here to help!
