Organization Details is the first page in Settings. It controls how your organization is identified inside PawPlacer and what visitors see on its public page.
Identity
The Identity section contains:
- Organization name
- Logo
- Your locked public-page address:
/shelters/[organization-id]
The organization ID in that address is generated for the account and cannot be changed. It is safe to share and also appears in application URLs and widget code. It is not an API key and does not expose private workspace data.
The logo uploader accepts an organization image used in the workspace and on public surfaces. Name and logo changes are included in the page's save bar.
Public Profile
Owners can publish or unpublish the organization page with Profile Visibility. After publishing it, they can turn these public sections and actions on or off:
- Foster applications
- Volunteer applications
- Adoption applications
- Donations
- Payments
- Wishlist
- Events
- Flyers
- Schedule
Use View Public Profile to open the public page in a new tab. Unpublishing the profile makes the organization page unavailable to visitors.
Eligible pets use their own public-visibility rules rather than a switch on this page. The saved address is used by public location surfaces when location is available for the account; there is no separate street-address switch on this page.
Contact Information
Add the public contact information visitors and staff need:
- Phone
- Address
- Organization description
The address field uses address search and fills the structured location details used by public maps and other location-aware features.
Tax and Receipts
Configure the organization details used on receipts and tax documents:
- Legal name
- Tax ID number
- Tax-exempt status
- Receipt signatory
- Receipt disclaimer or footer text
These values support receipt generation; they do not determine tax status for the organization.
Supported Animals
Choose every species your organization works with. Supported animals shape species choices and filters elsewhere in PawPlacer, including pet records and adoption-fee settings. At least one species must remain selected.
PawPlacer supports ten species. You can enable any combination of them:
| Species | Animals it covers |
|---|---|
| Dog | Dogs and puppies, all breeds |
| Cat | Cats and kittens, all breeds |
| Rabbit | Domestic rabbits |
| Horse | Horses and ponies |
| Small & Furry | Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, ferrets, chinchillas, and hedgehogs |
| Bird | Parrots, parakeets, cockatiels, canaries, finches, doves, lovebirds, macaws, and conures |
| Barnyard | Goats, sheep, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, llamas, and alpacas |
| Fish | Fish, frogs, toads, and other amphibians |
| Reptile | Snakes, lizards, geckos, bearded dragons, turtles, and tortoises |
| Invertebrate | Tarantulas, scorpions, insects, snails, and hermit crabs |
New accounts start with Dog and Cat enabled.
Enabling a species turns on its breed, color, coat, and age-bracket lists everywhere in the workspace. Turning a species off removes it from new pet forms and filters; existing pet records of that species are kept.
Social Links
You can save links for Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok, and your website. Valid links appear with the organization information on the public profile.
Locale
Locale settings apply across the workspace:
- Currency
- Date format
- Timezone
- Country
If the account has a slug, it is displayed for reference. Use the footer save bar to review and save changed organization fields.
Permissions
Identity, contact, tax and receipt, public-profile, supported-animal, and social controls are owner-managed. Other users may open the page but see those controls as locked. Locale selectors remain editable for signed-in team members.
