Page Layout

Choose one of the layouts from the drop-down adjacent to Animal detail page layout by simply tapping it.

In the Animal Detail page below, the picture is in the default style, in the center of the page. You can move the picture to the left with the description above or below it.

Use a popover to display animal details

When you enable this option, the Animal Detail page appears as a popup page when a visitor clicks the animal's name from the list. 

Show the Animal Detail page share button

See the screenshot above of Nod's web page. This option enables your visitor to select a social media outlet such as their Facebook account, by which to share an adoptable animal to their friends, or to help you promote an animal in need of a home. In the example above, the sharing box is under the animal's picture. Visitors to the page can click an icon to get a list of social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter, LINE, Kakao, and many other social media sites.

Disable the Adoption Information link on courtesy animals

You can elect to remove the Adoption link from the Animal Detail page. This is helpful if you do not want to use the built-in Adoption Info page for your courtesy listing animals. Often the animal is not part of the organization and visitors may be asked to contact the contact listed in the courtesy post directly rather than filling out an adoption application on the organization's website. The adoption link lists the status and if available, a link to the adoption information page. 

Adoption Info Enabled

Show DogTime.com content

Dogtime.com is part of a large network of pet bloggers and sites, offering readers a variety of topics about pet, and especially dog, care. Enabling this link puts the Learn more about link to the dog breed of the dog in question on that dog's information page.

Show a link on the Animal detail page to Save-a-Dog or Save-a-Cat on DogTime.com

How many Events to show

If you use the Events feature, you can specify which animals will be attending each event. See the chapter, About Events for more information about events and how to adjust the settings to customize the way you display them. This How many Events to show option allows you to specify how many events to show on every animal's detail page. See the screenshot below. If the animal is not slated to attend an event, the event will still be listed.

Enable the Meet Request feature

Before you enable the Meet Request feature, enable Events and add an Event. See the chapter About Events for more information about using the Events feature. Once Events are enabled and at least one event is added, when you enable the Meet Request feature, this message will appear at the bottom of the animal detail page.

Show the Adopt Me sayings

These are sayings such as, "Won't you consider adopting me?" In the example above, you can see the adoption link under Nod's picture. Note that the word adopt is a clickable link to the adoption application. These sayings are randomly selected from a series of pre-written statements.

Disable the My Rescue box

Some organizations prefer to not have visitors register on their site while others prefer to have them register from a link on their menu. This option allows you to disable the My Rescue (register box) on the animal detail page. 

Disable the link to the Petbond Animal adoption flyer

You can enable or disable the link visitors can use to print an animal adoption flyer for each animal.

This flyer is provided by PetBond.com, and is available only if your PetBond export is enabled. 

For more information about Exports, see the About Animal Exports chapter.  Exports are enabled by going to Animals > Exports.

Disable the Animal favorite count

When a visitor has the My Rescue feature activated by registering on your site, they can see how many other people have picked the animal they are looking at as a favorite. For more information about My Rescue and about animal favorites, see the chapters, My Rescue and My Favorite Animals. Once you've enabled the favorite animal count, when a visitor who has the my Rescue feature activated looks at an animal's page, they will see the number of favorites as in the example below.

Example: "..favorite of 18 people"

Disable public access to Animal successes

You can list your adoptions on your site so that a visitor can look for an animal to see whether or not it has been adopted. Disable this option if you do not want to display your adopted animals.

For more information about adoptions, animal successes, and tracking adoptions, refer to the following chapters:

• Tracking animal successes
• About adoptions settings
• About animal adoption settings

Disable Animal success stories

Animal success stories are different from adoptions. You create the Animal Success Story that is listed on the website. You can use this feature or disable it. Often organizations disable it if they have no volunteers with the time or skill to write these stories. If you disable it, you can still allow visitors to view the adoptions.

For more information about Animal Success Stories, read the chapter, Using the Animals Success Story feature.

Disable this feature if you do not want to use the Stories feature.

Show transferred Animals with successes

You can elect to have animals which were transferred out of your organization and into another rescue listed as successful adoptions. This is helpful if you are an organization, for instance, that partners with another organization in another city and your animals are pulled from shelters, vetted, and sent to the new city for adoption.

If you want to show animals you transferred out of your organization with your successful adoptions, enable this function.
