JavaScript Pet Adoption Toolkit v2.0 Now Available!

Dear RescueGroups.org Partners,

We are very excited to announce that we have released a new version of our JavaScript Pet Adoption Toolkit.

The Toolkit is designed to give your adoptable pets more exposure, directly on your website! Your visitors stay on your website, and enjoy browsing your pets without advertisements or links to 3rd party websites. It’s a tool that works just for you and your pets!

The new version of the Toolkit is completely separate from the previous Toolkit. That means that you can configure, test, and deploy the new Toolkit without affecting your existing Toolkit pages.

To install or update your Toolkit you must use the Pet Adoption Toolkit feature of our new management website. Login to the management website below, and then go to Animals > Pet Adoption Toolkit.

https://manage.rescuegroups.org

You can also download the latest version of the RescueGroups.org Management User Guide which now includes the Pet Adoption Toolkit instructions:

Please contact us if you need help installing or customizing your Toolkit. We’d be happy to help!

Thank you,

RescueGroups.org

Really Big JavaScript Toolkit Upgrade Coming Soon

Pet Adoption Toolkit Users,

We’re happy to announce that we are currently wrapping up a really BIG update to our JavaScript Toolkit! We took all of your suggestions and put them in this release.

The Toolkit has only been around about 7 months, but it’s already had a huge impact! The Toolkit is the first time the rescues and shelters have had complete control over the pet lists shown on their own websites, and now we’re giving you even more features and control.

We’ll be posting more in the near future on how you can use the Toolkit to keep visitors on your organization’s website and increase your adoptions.

So, here’s the list of updates we’re planning for this release:

• A new grid layout that shows more pets on one screen
• Random and Featured pet options!!  < we’re really excited about this one!
• Option to use paging (like 10 pets per page, etc.)
• Control of how many pets are shown on each page, each row, etc
• Option to use a popup window instead of the built-in popover
• Next and previous links on the popover (to browse through adoptable pets)
• Toolkit integrated into the new RescueGroups.org Management website

Watch out for more information about the release of the new version!  You’ll need to make code changes to your Toolkit implementation to use the new version.

We Need Your Suggestions for Enhancements!

Dear Website Service Users,

One of the unique things about RescueGroups.org is how we are able to implement user suggestions in a very short amount of time. We are planning to release a group of updates to our website service later this month!

We have a list of things we’d like to do, but we need to know what enhancements would provide the most value to you and your pets. Although we’re happy to make a note of your new feature and new service ideas, we’re really interested in enhancing the features we currently have — for example, adding the option to set page backgrounds per web page, or being able to use HTML in success stories, events, memorials, etc.

So, what’s most important to you right now? Even if we don’t implement your ideas right away, we’ll add them to our TODO list for later! You can either email us at info@rescuegroups.org or post a message on this blog. We’ll contact you if we have any questions regarding your suggestion.

Thank you for your time and support.
