Overview


Shelterluv offers several types of contracts that are tied to specific intake/outcome flows. In the Intake Forms and Outcome Forms configuration sections, you can select whether they should be shown or hidden in each intake or outflow flow.

The adoption contract text should use generic language to cover all adoptions of that animal type; you can add adoption disclaimers to individual animals separately.

Note
Remove old contract lines for animal/person information, initials, or signatures, as our digital contracts will automatically load the animal and person information and a signature line at the bottom of the contract. Use the Preview link to check the formatting of your contract text.
