Once you create multiple accounts with the adoption listing websites, you can contact our support team to add them as Export Accounts in your RescueGroups.org account.

This information applies to both the Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet.com updates.  They are the only two adoption listing websites that use the location of the organization (organization's account) as the location used when searching for adoptable pets and not the location of the pet.

Adding an export account

An "export account" must be added to your account in order to send pet listings to Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet.com.  They are the only two adoption listing websites that have not decided to use the RescueGroups.org API to receive adoptable pet information and therefore still require an FTP data file upload.

Each of your animals will then have an Export Accounts section when you view or edit the information.  For each animal, select the appropriate export account based on location.

Only your Adopt-a-Pet.com and Petfinder exports appear on the animal pages -- all other adoption listing websites receive your animal's actual individual location and do not depend on the organization's account zip/postal code for animal searches.
