Update Animal Details and the Public Adoption Profile

Edit Record updates identity and descriptive information. The public adoption profile is distinct from internal notes and clinical or enforcement history.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Select Edit Record. Correct only the fields that need updating and review identifiers carefully.
2. Update physical descriptors, birth date estimation, weight, and photo as supported by the form. Use clinical or enforcement workspaces for their formal records.
3. In Public Adoption Profile, select Public Size and Public Coat Length directly. The interface does not guess these from weight or breed.
4. Write a plain-text Public Adoption Biography describing personality and appropriate adopter-facing information. Keep staff-only, personal, enforcement, and confidential medical information out of the biography.
5. Set House Trained, Special Needs, and compatibility with children, dogs, or cats only when assessed. Unknown / not assessed is a valid choice.
6. Save using the form’s displayed action. Return to Overview and confirm the updated information before preparing an external publishing preview.
7. Review publishing eligibility separately. A completed public biography does not mean the animal has been sent to an adoption network.
