Ready to get started?! Simply register and start posting your
SPCAs found pet ads.
To register
1) Go to our
ads
2) Click the "register" text link on the green bar
3) Proceed with registration form making sure you fill in all
boxes marked*.
Step by step registration instructions are on our FAQ (if
needed)
Remember to choose a professional username that reflects you
are an SPCA and which one
as this will show on every ad ie SPCA_CHCH or AKLSPCA etc (we
can only have usernames up
to 12 characters, so you may need to abbreviate slightly!)
Posting ads
1) Once registered, you may post ads immediately. To log in,
click "log in" on the green bar
on the
ads.
Remember to "log out" when you've completed your postings.
2) Select the section the ad is for i.e. Found Cats and
follow your nose through the forms.
3) Title of ad. We recommend you use this type of format
City, suburb, brief description, SPCA village or card number
ie Auckland, Manurewa, black shorthaired female cat, SPCA VN
12345
4) Extra details. On the found pet ads we have optional
boxes in which you can indicate the sex,
desex status, microchip status etc, there is also plenty of
room in the main text box to add a much
more detailed description if need be
4) Adding a disclaimer. You may wish to copy and paste a
pre set comment
to each ad. This
is the current one used by the SPCA Auckland as an example.
"If
you think this could possibly be your lost pet, please
phone or visit the SPCA without delay,
stating SPCA VN
number (Village Number) in the headline above. All
animals entering the SPCA
are held for up to 7 days.
After 7 days unclaimed, a stray animal may be rehomed by
the SPCA, or
euthanised (animals may be euthanised earlier if they are severely
injured or suffering etc.)
Please note that ages listed are estimated only and
may not be the actual age of the animal
listed
Auckland SPCA is at 50 Westney Rd, Mangere, ph 256 7300.
Lost and found hours are
between 10am to 4pm, 7 days"
5) Add an optional picture if you have one, the system
will resize your picture AUTOMATICALLY
for you. You can also post a text only ad and add pictures later and
edit your ad
at any time of
course. NB. Very large pictures may time out our system resulting in a blank
screen. When taking
pictures for petsonthenet it helps to set your digital camera down to a lower
resolution, so the
image file is not so huge and your pictures will upload with no issue.
NOTE RE: LITTERS You don't need to enter a separate ad for
each litter member, one ad is fine for the whole group. Just
put the main card number/village number in the title ie Mum if she
is with them.
NOTE Saving time when posting multiple ads
Here's a time saving tip. Post your first ad and when posted
successfully instead of starting again and clicking "place ad", save
yourself a few screens by going "back" on your browser until you get
back to the ad text page. Just overwrite the old title and text to
save time and continue forwards again.
Remember to change categories if needed, it is easier to do it in
species batches ie all your found cats, then found dogs etc. If you
do put an ad in the "wrong" category ie cats into dogs etc, it is
easily fixed!. See our
FAQ on changing catgeories for help
Deleting ads
Log in. Go "my active ads" and click "delete" next to the ad you
want to delete.
Editing ads
If you have a success story to share, please edit the ad instead
of deleting it. It is easy to do as well.
See
our FAQ on editing ads.
Please post your free shelter ad too!
Please do post a general ad under the "Shelter"
category telling people about your SPCA Centre. You have 300
words and this may be edited at any time if you wish. Please
choose an ad duration of 365 days for this section. This ad acts
as an "anchor" ad, so if you, or we, wish to link to "all
ads by this SPCA", we can link to that "permanent" ad, as your
other ads will obviously be coming and going.

help.

Feedback
We appreciate feedback on the success of your ads. One easy way
to share this with us and the whole world is to
edit your
Found Pet ads and advise the pet was reunited, and if applicable
advise it was via petsonthenet.co.nz. Please edit the ad to change
the category
from Found Pets to Success Stories. Or simply delete the ad.
PLEASE..! Do tell me if you notice something wrong, a typo,
something is not clear etc. I really
would love your feedback on even the smallest detail. Tell me your
wish list too! What else would you like to see/be able to do on
petsonthenet?!
