The Special Lists feature automatically creates lists of animals that meet certain criteria, for example, Special Needs, Recent Arrivals, Puppies, Kittens, etc.


Where do I find it?

You can find the Special Lists page by going to Animals > Settings then clicking Special Lists.

On this page:


The Special Lists web pages will be automatically updated as you add your animals.

All times/ages are in days.

You can enter just the youngest age if you do not want to have a maximum age for the list.

For example:

  • Kittens/Puppies: 0-180
  • Teens: 181-364
  • Adults: 365

(For the Adults list you would enter only enter the start age for the youngest age, and leave the Oldest blank if you do not want to use the seniors group).

You must enter a birth date (even approximate) for each animal to have age related special lists work. Example: puppies, kittens, teens, adults, seniors.

This will automatically age the animal and move them from one list to the next as they age.

The Special Lists are:

How to Add Special Lists to a Custom Menu

Many of the RescueGroups.org layouts and menus will automatically show links to the Special Lists that you enable using the Default Menu. If you have a Custom Menu you may need to manually add the Special Lists links to your menu.

If you do not see the Special List you would like to use in your website menu or in your link list, read the chapter Adding menu items for more information.
