Tip

We've created a very simple Excel spreadsheet that might help you with your animal data file format.  Use it if you need RescueGroups.org to do a one-time quick import (not regular FTP upload) of your animal information.  Do not use this file if you are building a CSV file to FTP to us -- instead, use the information in this guide. including the following data and fields informationSee the chapter, Supported animal import fields. Learn more about the   sample animal data files herein the chapter, Using the sample animal data file.
