New Adoption Listing Website Coming Soon

We're excited to announce that within the next few weeks, an additional adoption listing website will be using the adoptable pet data from RescueGroups.org!

Spot-A-Pup (currently under construction) is an adoptable dog search website that provides unique search capabilities for potential adopters. Spot-A-Pup will use many of the advanced capabilities of the RescueGroups.org Platform, including pet specific contact and location information, and dozens of new fields that we will be adding in the next couple weeks.

Prior to the launch of the Spot-A-Pup website we will provide an opt-out option through our Manage website. You can enable and disable your exports at any time simply by going to Animals > Exports. If you need help, please open a support ticket.

RescueGroups.org API Mailing List

If you're an application developer you'll want to keep up-to-date with the latest improvements and enhancements to the RescueGroups.org API. The API allows web and application developers to interface with the RescueGroups.org Platform.

Currently, the REST API allows adoption listing websites to retrieve adoptable pet data from us. Soon we will be providing additional API capabilities through a new API. If you are interested in receiving updates from us concerning our APIs, please contact us and we'll add you to our API Users mailing list. We only send a couple messages a month at most, but it will ensure you have the latest information regarding the APIs and how you can provide services and functionality based on our Platform.

Reminder Concerning eBay and other Classifieds Websites

We've received a lot of complaints from our Partner organizations concerning their adoptable pets showing up unexpectedly on the eBay classifieds website.

RescueGroups.org is not responsible for pets appearing on classifieds websites, however we can point you in the right direction if you'd like to learn more or cancel the upload to classifieds websites. If you need help, please contact us.
