AnimalsFirst can automatically import your adoptable pets on Adopt a Pet. Their website is animalsfirst.com
Get ready:
- You need an approved Adopt a Pet shelter/rescue account. Sign up here.
Save data
- The first upload will permanently erase all of your available pets, adopted pets, adopters, and microchip info from Adopt a Pet. Only available pets are re-added by your software.
- Optional: Before you setup, use Pet Export and Adopter Export to save your data on your computer. (Your listings can not be restored from these files; just for your reference.)
AutoUpload Contact
- AutoUploading requires at least one Pet Publicist checked as the AutoUpload contact. They will be responsible for monitoring & addressing any errors. Errors may prevent your pets from updating or displaying. As a courtesy, if there are errors our system emails them to you.
- Whoever sets up AutoUploading will be it. If you are not the AutoUpload contact, ask that person to log in using their Pet Publicist login to complete the steps below. If they aren't a publicist yet, add them here checking "I am an AutoUpload contact for this shelter/rescue".
Set up AutoUploading:
1. Log in to your Adopt a Pet account.
2. Go to Shelter/Rescue > AutoUpload/Import Pets
3. If you were using another software, select "No/Off" and click update, which reloads the page.
Select None of the Above and click Continue.
Change all of the following to:
enabled: yes
software: None of the Above
manually added: no
manually edited: no
column headers: yes
import acceptable pets: yes
4. Click the "Set Up" button.
5. Your FTP username and FTP password will be displayed.
Give both to AnimalsFirst.
Tip: If you have multiple accounts/locations, contact AnimalsFirst for assistance. There is a unique FTP for each account/location on Adopt a Pet.
