Pets Tab
The Pets tab groups each adopter-pet relationship into:
- Adopted pets: Completed adoptions.
- Pets of interest: Pets the adopter is considering.
- Past pets: Historical relationships, including returns.
Start adoption opens a pet picker even when the adopter has no pets of interest. Select the eligible pets to include before choosing a completion method.
Add Pets
- Open the adopter profile.
- Open Pets.
- Click Add pet.
- Search and select one or more eligible pets.
- Add optional interest notes.
- Click Add Pets to Adopter.
The selector only offers pets that can be added to this adopter. If a selected pet has bonded companions, PawPlacer includes them and identifies the bonded group before you save.
Work With the Pet List
Each section has a plain-text header and count. Rows link to pet profiles and can show the pet's photo, basic details, relationship state, fee, interest or adoption date, and return information.
Available row actions depend on the state:
- Adopt starts the workflow for one pet of interest.
- Remove takes the pet off this adopter's pets of interest without deleting the pet or changing its status.
- Return adoption opens the same return dialog as the adoption receipt for an adopted pet; the pet moves to past pets with its return reason.
- Delete adoption record removes an adoption record created in error.
Returned relationships remain visible as history and do not offer the pet-of-interest or adopted-pet actions.
Placing a pet in foster keeps it on the lists of adopters interested in it. The interest ends when the pet is adopted or leaves care.
Start a Multi-Pet Adoption
Use Start adoption in the profile header to review or select pets for one adoption session. Use Adopt on an individual row when only that pet should be included.
