You may find yourself in need of having to submit a form for someone else.  This often happens when a potential adopter doesn't have access to a computer or is unable to access the online forms, for whatever reason.  You can easily submit a form for them from your RescueGroups.org account.

Where do I find it?

You can submit an online form for someone else by clicking the Submit a Form button the Submitted Online Forms page.

On this page:

Do NOT submit the form from your RescueGroups.org Website Service logged in as yourself!

  2. Go to Contacts > Submitted Forms.
  3. Click Submit a Form button at the top of the page.
