Service Grants Available Thanks to DogTime
Thanks to donations made by DogTime, including donations from the Save a Dog and Save a Cat Facebook applications, we have a significant number of grants available for new and renewing users for our Data Management, Website, Domain Name and Email services. Each grant covers one year of service.
To apply for the grant, login to the Manage website and go to Admin > Grant Application. To access the Manage website, please go to the following URL and enter your RescueGroups.org user name and password:
https://manage.rescuegroups.org
(If you are unfamiliar with our new Manage website, you can read more about it in this blog post. If you need help, please open a support ticket.)
For existing Partners, apply prior to your services' invoice date in order to have sufficient time for approval before your services renew.
If you are interested in upgrading or adding services, please open a support ticket. You do not need to sign-up again if you are upgrading or adding services to your existing RescueGroups.org account.
New Animal Fields Available
We're excited about adding several new fields to our animal database. The fields are specifically designed to help describe your adoptable pets so that potential adopters can more easily find compatible pets to adopt.
Here are a few examples of the fields we've added:
Shedding Amount
Grooming Needs
Exercise Needs
Requires Home with Fence
Obedience Training
Likes to Vocalize
We've also added dozens of fields we've called "Qualities." Each quality is just a box you can click for each animal to select that quality. Some of the qualities are: Leash trained, crate trained, likes toys, affectionate, goofy, likes to swim, good in a car, etc.
(One field that changed is the Friendly field, which became Reaction to New People. There are several qualities that now reflect the pet's friendliness.)
These new fields and qualities are only available through our Manage website. The new Manage website is available to all of our users.
We're planning to add features to our services that utilize those new fields. Also, those fields will soon be available on Spotapup.com and other websites, as well as the Toolkit and Website services.
