# iShelters Import

[iShelters](http://ishelters.com/) is one of several rescue and shelter software packages which uploads adoptable animal data to RescueGroups.org.

We are very happy to say that many providers are committed to helping the community just as we do at RescueGroups.org. If the service you are currently using isn't doing everything they could to help you and your animals, please consider switching to one of the community-focused companies that are working with the rescue community.
