Adoptions Workbench

Open Adoptions. Each row can show the adopter, placed pets, donation, fee, confirmation state, payment method, and date.

Use:

  • Search for adopter, email, pet, or microchip.
  • Species and payment-method facets.
  • Date range under More filters.
  • Sort by recently updated, newest, adopter name, highest fee, or highest donation.

Select a row to open its receipt.

Adoption Receipt

The header shows the adopter name, adoption state, date, and metrics for finalized date, verified paid, pets placed, and follow-ups.

The left rail contains adopter contact, transaction date with Change, payment method, signed-contract details, pet tags, Back to Adopter, and Documents navigation.

The center receipt includes:

  • Placed Pets
  • Payment Ledger
  • Follow-up Plan
  • Receipt Notes

The right context column contains Activity and Team Notes.

Payment Review

The ledger shows adoption fee, donation, total verified, remaining amount, method, status, and related payment entries. A pending record displays Review Payment and Cancel in its alert and ledger actions.

Use Review Payment to verify receipt and add optional notes. Cancel marks an unverified adoption payment as cancelled.

Follow-Up Plan

Schedule a follow-up with a date and time, interval, optional note template, and internal notes. Existing follow-ups can be marked completed, unreachable, or skipped with an outcome and notes, or archived.

Receipt Notes, Team Notes, and Documents

  • Receipt Notes is the editable adoption-level summary in the center.
  • Team Notes is threaded internal discussion in the right context column.
  • Documents is a full toolbar tab.
