Key sections from this documentation page.

Your PawPlacer public profile gives visitors one shareable place to learn about your organization, browse pets, open applications, and view other public resources. Visitors do not need a PawPlacer account.

Publish the Profile

  1. Open Settings > Organization Details.
  2. In Public profile, turn on Profile Visibility.
  3. Choose which public features should be available: pets; foster, volunteer, and surrender applications; donations; payments; wishlist; events; flyers; schedule; and street address and map.
  4. Save the settings.

Information Visitors May See

The public page uses current organization data from Organization Details:

  • Name, logo, description, and supported species
  • Contact email, phone, website, and social links
  • A location summary, or the saved address and map when public location data is available
  • Organization schedule
  • Public pets
  • Available application actions
  • Public events, support options, wishlist needs, and flyers when those resources are available

The profile does not expose internal notes, medical records, staff-only form fields, or private workspace data.

Keep It Current

Update organization identity, contact details, tax information, and public-feature choices in Settings > Organization Details. Update hours in Settings > Schedule. Forms come from Settings > Forms, and individual pet visibility is managed on each eligible pet.

Before sharing the page broadly, open it in a signed-out browser and test the public actions your organization expects visitors to use.
