Using locations with animals (exports)

The location zip/postal code you select when adding an animal 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 visit and meet your animals.

Info

The animal's location zip/postal code is always used for showing the general location of the animal (often shown as a city, state location). When you make a location "not public" the street address will be hidden.

We also recommend you 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 (exports) so that they can more accurately locate animals that are within a distance radius of the potential adopter.

...

Please note, our exports to Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet.com are handled differently than are the hundreds of other adoption listing websites.  If you have animals located in distinctly different zip/postal codes, you may want to request multiple accounts with both Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet. Each of your additional accounts should be set up for the specific zip code from which you adopt available animals.  For more information please see our guide on using multiple locations with Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet: Using multiple Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet accounts
