Our Field & Community Services module shares the same set of animal and people records that you see in your Shelterluv account.
Searching Records
You can search for an animal by:
- Animal Name
- Microchip Number
- Shelterluv ID (only the number in the ID, exclude your shelter prefix and A)
You can search for a person by:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Phone Number (only numbers, exclude all other symbols and spaces)
Linking New and Existing Associated Records
When you are adding Associated Animals or Associated People, you will be able to:
- Search and link an existing Shelterluv record, or
- Create a new Shelterluv record directly from Field & Community Services
Users with the appropriate permissions on the Shelterluv side will be able to further edit these records as necessary.
Creating and Intaking Animal Records
When you create a new animal record through Field & Community Services, you will need to select a person first (just like you normally do in Shelterluv) - this creates a “Previously Owned Animal” under that person record in your main Shelterluv account.
From that person’s Animals tab in your main Shelterluv account, you will then be able to:
- Process a Service, Owner Surrender, or Stray intake, or
- Transfer to a new owner and then process an intake
If you need to process another intake type such as Feral/Wildlife, then the animal record should be created from the Shelterluv side.
Individual Records
- You can view records and case/activity histories of people and animals by clicking on their name when searching, adding, or editing associated records
- The number displayed in parenthesis next to their name indicates how many cases/activities they are associated with
People records will include:
- Name and Shelterluv ID
- Link out to main Shelterluv record
- Phone
- Address
- Associated Person
- Associated Animals
- New & Open Cases/Activities
- Completed & Closed Cases/Activities
Animal records will include:

On each person or animal’s main Shelterluv record, a “Field Services Record” flag will be displayed if they are associated with any cases or activities.
- Users with access to Field & Community Services will be able to click on the link to get to the Field & Community Services version of the record.
- Although users without the "Field Services Access" permission will not be able to click on the flag, it will serve as a reminder that they may need to ask another team member--one with access to Field & Community Services--for more information.
