A snapshot of the PetRescue feed on Second Chance Animal Rescue's website
With PetRescue’s website pet feed, your live listings can appear directly on your own site- always up to date, no manual upkeep required.
What Is the Pet Feed?
The pet feed is a simple integration that pulls your current pet listings on your PetRescue group profile and displays them live on your organisation’s website. Every time you update a listing, add a new pet, or mark one as rehomed, your website reflects that automatically.
Why It's Worth Having
Zero double-handling
You're already managing your listings on the PetRescue platform. The feed means that work flows straight through to your website too, with no copy-pasting, no separate updates, and no listings falling out of date.
Always accurate
Adopted pets disappear from the feed automatically. New pets appear as soon as they're listed. Your website stays current without you having to think about it.
More chances for the right match
The more places your pets appear, the more chances they have of being seen by the right person. Your website visitors are already interested in your rescue specifically- they're a warm audience worth converting.
How to Set It Up
Here's what you need to get the feed live on your website:
- Get your member ID You'll need your PetRescue Group Member ID to generate your unique feed URL. If you're not sure what it is, just follow these simple steps.
- Build your feed URL Your base feed URL will look like the below, simply add in your Group Member ID:
https://www.petrescue.com.au/_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID
From there, you can customise what's displayed using a few simple parameters:
| What you want to show | Example URL |
|---|---|
| All pets | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID |
| Dogs only | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=dogs |
| Cats only | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=cats |
| Other species | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=other |
| Oldest listed first | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&sort=oldestfirst |
| Dog by size | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=dogs&size[]=small ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=dogs&size[]=medium ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=dogs&size[]=large |
| Oldest to newest order | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&list=oldestfirst |
| Display rehomed pets | ... /_feed/?member=YOURMEMBERID&rehomed=true |
As you can see above, you can combine parameters using & to get exactly the view you need.
- Embed it on your site The easiest way to embed the feed is using a frameset on the page where you'd like your listings to appear. Your normal site headers, logo, and navigation stay in place, the feed simply fills the main content area of that page.
