NEW FOR 2023!

Show the world that your organization is part of Adopt a Pet by displaying this badge on your website!

Having a seal of credibility on your website from an outside source like Adopt a Pet can help adopters feel more secure in adopting from your organization. We created this badge for shelters and rescues to use after passing our initial screening process and being approved for an Adopt a Pet account.

Options for using the badge:

A) Right click on the image to save the badge image, then upload to your website or social media.

B) Highlight, copy, and paste the HTML code below in to your website’s code. The badge will take them to www.AdoptaPet.com showing your organization’s connection to Adopt a Pet, adding credibility to you.

C) Copy the code below, editing it to link directly to your pet list. To do that, type over the first http://www.adoptapet.com in the code with any of your pet list links here.

We appreciate the link in B or C, as that helps all our pet pages rank higher in search engine results. That helps all pets!

This  article describes two options for adding your Adopt-a-Pet.com scrolling Pet List to WordPress and other websites. If you need additional help, please contact our help desk here — we will respond within 1 business day. Thank you!

Option 1. Use this WordPress Plugin created by a fantastic volunteer:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/pet-adoption-listings/

Option 2. Use an iFrame: If you have an iFrame plugin in your WordPress theme, or can use an iFrame on your website, you can use this option. (Many free themes on WordPress.ORG do not allow iFrames.)

1. First, find your Adopt-a-Pet.com shelter account unique ID number.
   It’s easily visible on your Pet List Links page:
   http://www.adoptapet.com/cgi-bin/shelter/index.cgi/listing_links
   Look for the number in the links. For example, in
   http://www.AdoptaPet.com/shelter1234-pets.html <– 1234 is the ID number.
   .
2. Go to the WordPress page where you want to add your Pet List.
   Click the little “world” icon that is for inserting an iFrame.
   (We put a green arrow pointing to it in the screenshot below.)

 

3.  A little box will pop up, like this:

4. In the box below, highlight the the entire URL, copy, then then paste into your WordPress little box’s URL field.

https://searchtools.adoptapet.com/cgi-bin/searchtools.cgi/portable_pet_list?shelter_id=1234&title=&color=green&clan_name=&size=450x320_list&sort_by=pet_name&hide_clan_filter_p=

In the code you copied in the box, very carefully type over to replace the sample number 1234 with your unique ID number. This can be tricky! You may need to click somewhere else in the URL then use your arrow keys to move the cursor to the shelter_id number. Be careful… don’t type over anything other than the numbers, like the equals sign = before or the & after the number in the code.

5. Make sure “Enable scrollbars” is checked.

6. Set the width and height to fit your page.

7. Click OK and publish or save your page.

Tip: We’ve heard in WordPress it doesn’t always display in “preview” so you may want to publish it on a test page first.

You’re all done!

In honor of Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, our friends at Advantage® II are offering $100,000 in Advantage® II cat flea prevention product to 30 shelters and rescues throughout the month of June. That’s 30 chances to win over $3,300 in product! 

We hope these grants will help ease some of the stress your organization may feel during cat and kitten season. Thank you to our compassionate friends at Advantage^® II for their part in making these grants possible!

Tips & Tricks

1. Encourage your pets to look right into the camera to show off their eyes and personality

• •  Try holding a treat or toy next to your camera to get their attention

2. Pets photograph best in bright, natural light

• •  If taking a photo indoors, try putting your pet by a window or turn on a few extra lights (even during the day!)

3. Portraits of pets sitting, standing, or lying down are usually the easiest and most successful photos

• •  “Action shots” are often blurry and take a lot of extra time to get “just right”

4. Share photos just as they come out of your camera or phone

• •  Editing photos, changing sizes, or creating collages limits how they can be used on different social media sites

APPLICATIONS CLOSED MARCH 13, 2021

COVID-19 is affecting communities across the country. People are struggling to provide the essentials for their pets (food, medication, kitty litter, grooming supplies, etc.), but we know that does not mean they love their pets any less. Pet pantries have become a vital lifeline for many pet owners and help organizations like yours reduce the population of animals in shelters by assisting pet owners before they resort to giving up their companion animals. That’s why we’ve been raising money to help you in your efforts to save animals during this critical time.

At the end of 2020 we got together with our friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka to raise money so we could help animal welfare organizations do even more great work. Our generous supporters donated so that we could provide you with grants to enrich or start a pet pantry program. The folks at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s were kind enough to match the donations received up to $10,000 each.

Now we want to extend those funds to you, so you can help the pets in your community. We will provide cash, product, and gift card grants to organizations that apply through the application link below.

Thank you to our compassionate friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka for their part in making this grant possible!

Please read the rules and application dates carefully:

Grant Process

Animal Welfare Organizations will have two weeks to complete their initial grant application. Once the application period closes Adopt-a-Pet.com and sponsors will review all eligible applications and choose a small pool of finalists.

All finalists will receive a cash grant (amount will be disclosed to finalists) to enrich or start a pet pantry for their organization. Adopt-a-Pet.com will contact all finalists with the amount they will receive and with a request for additional information. We may request images and/or have follow-up questions. Finalists who send in the requested info will be eligible for a larger grant worth $20,000. Two organizations will receive the larger $20,000 grant that will consist of product, gift cards, and additional monetary funds.

Springtime is coming, and while that means blooming flowers and deep cleaning for many, for Adopt-a-Pet.com it’s time to give out some love. For the third year in a row, Adopt-a-Pet.com will be giving away $100,000 in Seresto^® product grants.

Thank you to our compassionate friends at Seresto^® for their part in making these grants possible!
