How do I edit my pet listings when I have imports turned on for my Adopt a Pet account?

After you setup your import, edits you make in your animal shelter software will automatically update Adopt a Pet. 

Depending on the software, some editing can be done directly on Adopt a Pet.

Once your import is setup, at the top of your My Pet List there is a yellow NOTICE or WARNING box. The box varies by software. 

Examples:

These are just two examples. Please read what's on your account!

What can't be edited

For example, the top NOTICE is for Shelterluv or Chameleon. 

Once Shelterluv or Chameleon imports a pet to Adopt a Pet, on the pet's editing page in Adopt a Pet you'll see a few fields are grayed out. These can't be edited:

• Pet Name
• Pet ID#
• Breed(s)
• Pet Status, i.e. adopted or other status
• add a pet

Those must be done in your software only. That's so when a pet is adopted or no longer available, it will still be automatically removed from Adopt a Pet.

How to edit (in this example):

In this example, you can edit most pet info directly on Adopt a Pet, like description, age, weight, etc and photos. Those edits will NOT be overwritten by your software.

Note if you edit a pet directly on Adopt a Pet, then later make an edit in your software, you will need to make it directly on Adopt a Pet too.
