PetPoint offers a free import to Adopt a Pet, so your organization's adoptable pets can automatically appear on Adopt a Pet.
Before you activate your import:
1. Do you use PetPoint Sites?
If yes, you must check each Site's "List On Petango" box, see how here.
NOTE: If you use more than one Site for your adoptable pets in PetPoint, each requires a separate location account on Adopt a Pet. Here's how to set up additional location accounts.
If no, you'll leave the default 0 (zero) in step 8.
2. Verify your PetPoint Stages
Stage 'Available' defaults to show online, but you can add other stages too. Verifying your stages in your PetPoint software under Admin> Admin Options> Online Animal Listing Options> Stages Included in Adoptable Search Listings. See screenshot showing how here.
3. Rank your pet photos
Verify that all your pets with photos have at least one that is labeled 1 (not 2 as illustrated below):
4. Optional: Download pet/adopters
Once your import is set to "yes" and saved in step 6 below, all pets on your "My Pet List" are instantly moved to your "My Hidden Pets" list. You may want to first download an export of your pets from Pet Export.
Now you're ready to activate:
5. Log in to your Adopt a Pet account
6. From the Shelter/Rescue menu, select "AutoUpload/Import Pets"
7. If you have another software selected already: Change Enabled to "no" and save
If needed, reload the page to see the dropdown menu.
Everyone: From the dropdown, select "PetPoint" and click "Continue"
8. Select Activate "yes" and type in your PetPoint ID and Site ID
Your PetPoint ID is numbers and letters, like USMA999
Note: It always starts with a country code (US or CA) and is UPPER CASE
Your Site ID is all numbers
Do not type any leading zeros
If you do not use Sites, leave the default 0 (the number zero)
9. Click "Save Import Settings"
You're done! Please wait...
Saving alerts our Adopt a Pet staff. We then request that PetPoint activate your import on their side. Your pets will start importing and be visible on Adopt a Pet within a few business days.
After that, changes in PetPoint will update Adopt a Pet within a few hours.
Thank you for your patience!
