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 control three public-profile settings:
- Profile Visibility: publish or unpublish the organization page
- Show Street Address: include the saved street address and map
- Show Adoptable Pets: include eligible public pets
Use View Public Profile to open the public page in a new tab. Unpublishing the profile makes the organization page unavailable to visitors.
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.
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
- 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
Organization details and public-profile controls are owner-managed. Other users may be able to open the page but see owner-managed controls as locked.
