Download the attached XLS file for all Adopt a Pet's existing breed and color values. These are the defaults used by the Adopt a Pet AutoUpload system.
Adopt a Pet will not add custom values like new breeds or different colors for you.
To use custom values and AutoUploading, you or your software must "map" any custom/new values you want to use to our existing values, which are in the attached XLS file.
Our Auto Upload system is very exacting. It is case, space, and punctation sensitive. For example, if you try to upload a breed value of "Mixed Breed" or "Domestic Short hair" that will result in an error. An error means a pet will not be added to Adopt a Pet. Your AutoUpload contact will be emailed an error email every 12 hours until the error is fixed.
To fix these kind of errors, you can either change what you have in your software to one of our default values, like "Mixed Breed (Medium)" or "Domestic Shorthair" or you can use your software or import.cfg to map them. How you map your values depends on which software you use.
See this article more information on how the AutoUpload system works and full documentation to learn more about mapping.
