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, please see how to Add a Menu Item.
