Here are some of the benefits of using the Contacts feature:

  • Export contact information for your mailing lists
  • Keep track of fosters and which animals they currently foster and have fostered in the past
  • Use with the Calls feature to document requests for help or information
  • Share your Do Not Adopt list

You can filter the Contacts list by clicking one of the letters at the top of the page.  For example, if you click the letter C, only contacts that have a last name starting with C will be listed.

For information about adding contacts to a contacts group, adding contacts groups, or sharing your organization's Do Not Adopt list, see the section Contacts Group in this User Guide.
