Answer

Have you ever had a pet store like PetSmart call you that someone abandoned a dog there? Or maybe a pet store that wants to dump a dog on rescue since it’s not a cute fluffy puppy anymore? If you are a rescue which takes dogs from pet stores, no matter the reason, then the Pet Store database is or you!

In logging a new intake, when answering the question “Where did dog come from?” if you select “Pet Store” the software will give you a drop-down list of the Shelters you have entered in the database.

Once chosen, it will be added to the dog’s internal profile.

To let the mavens of the software mapping know what information to pull, you will need to set up the database in 6 quick steps!

1. To get to the database module, hover over your name in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard on the backend of the website. From the drop-down menu, select Rescue Databases.

   

2. You will now have the Database Menu on your screen from where you can manage all the information!

   

3. Select – gee, let me guess — the Pet Stores button. Then click on the Add A Pet Store button on the right.

   

4. Fill out the name, address, and phone number for the pet store. Feel free to add any notes you want under the Notes section.

   

5. If there is a specific contact person you want to note, scroll down and enter that information by clicking on the +Add A Person link. When you are done, click Save.

   

6. Once you click Save, the pet store will be added to your database. Continue following the above steps to add as many pet stores as you want or need.

   

Now was that easy? And you never have to type that information again and, if needed, it will be available to you on intaking a new dog!
