Locations are used to specify the specific address or zip/postal code of an event or animal.  Locations are used primarily with Events and Animals.

Using locations with animals

Select a location when you are adding or editing an animal. The location zip/postal code will "override" your organization's zip/postal code as the location for this animal.

If you chose to make the location public, the location information will appear on the animal's detail page. This helps encourage your visitors to go visit and meet your animals.

It’s also very advantageous to select locations even if they are just zip/postal codes and not complete a complete address.  The animal’s location is sent with the animal data to the adoption listing websites so that they can more accurately locate animals that are within a distance radius of the potential adopter.

 Using locations with events

See the section of this guide on Events for information about how to add a location for an event.
