Custom Animal Groups for Website Service

The Custom Animal Groups feature is part of our Data Management service. Read about the standard feature, including how to add Custom Animal Groups. With Website Service, this feature gets nicely upgraded! Here’s a few additional capabilities that you now have:

Add a Custom Animal Group to your Website Menu

When a custom animal group is created, two menu options are automatically created for you.

  • Animal Browse: <Your Custom Animal Group Name>

  • Animal List: <Your Custom Animal Group Name>

Please follow the instructions on Add Menu Items to Custom Menu to add one or both of these options to your menu.

If you edit the custom animal group and change its name, it will also change the Link Text of any menu items associated with that list.  Deleting a list will remove all animals from that list and delete the menu items.


Create a Custom Header (text at the top of the page) for your Custom Animal Group.

  • To customize the text at the top of this custom animal group page, first create a web page (Website > Web Pages List > Add a Web Page)

  • You can name your web page the same name as the custom animal group. For example, Petco Tully Adoption Center

  • Add text and save your web page.




  • Now that you have created a web page with custom text, you can select this page as the header for the Custom Animal Group.

  • Click Save.




  • This is what the web page looks like. Now you can add/remove animals from this page easily with a simple check box.
