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).

NoteYou 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.

Info

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.
