# Animal Relationships
**Animal Relationships** is a feature of your RescueGroups.org **Data Management** and **Website** services that allows you to designate relationships between animals. The relationships you add are shown on the animal's web page, with links to the other related animals. This is great for animals that are in the same litter or are companion animals.
Relationships are very important for animals that must be adopted together.

**Where do I find it?**

# Add a relationship
To add a relationship, navigate to the animal's web page by going to **Animals > Animal List** and scroll to the animal or search for the animal. Once you find the animal, click the name to open their web page, then click the **Relationships** link.
To add a sibling, baby, parent, or companion, click the **Add a Relationship for this Animal** button. Notice in this example, we searched for and opened the page for Troy. We've already added one of Troy's siblings, Mojave. To add another sibling or a parent, click the **Add a Relationship for this Animal** button. The list of relationships shows the name of the related animal, the relationship to Troy, and whether they need to be adopted together.
Once you've clicked the **Add a Relationship for this Animal** button, a very short form opens.
1. The animal's name should appear in the top field, the Animal ID field. If not, select from the drop-down list.
2. Select the related animal from the second drop-down list.
3. Select the type of relationship.
4. Click the radio button for adopting together (Yes) or not (No).
5. Save.
