Add Member to Map

Fill in everything you know about a handler team. The form builds a correctly formatted record you can copy or download and send back to the map coordinator.

🔒

Board Members Only

This form collects handler contact details, hospital assignments, and credentials. Please log in to use it.

⚠️ Data collection form — nothing is saved or submitted anywhere. When you finish, use Copy JSON or Download at the bottom and send the result to the map coordinator. Wiring this up to save automatically comes later.

Leave anything you don't know blank. Blank fields are left out of the record entirely rather than filled with a guess — that is deliberate. A wrong certification number or dog name is worse than a missing one.

1. Member

Who the handler is and their standing in PFDA.

Full name *

Initials Shown inside the map pin. Filled in from the name automatically — edit if needed.

Role / title * Board position and/or job title. Use an em dash to combine both.

Member ID Suggested automatically.

Status

Member since Four-digit year.

2. Location

Where the handler works. Use the hospital's location, never a home address.

Hospital location only. This file is downloadable by anyone who visits the site, so home cities and home addresses must not go in it.

City *

State *

Latitude

Longitude

Don't know the coordinates? Leave them blank — the coordinator will fill them in. Note that a record without coordinates will not show a pin on the map until they are added. To find them yourself, search the hospital on openstreetmap.org, right-click the building and choose "Show address" — latitude comes first.

3. Hospital

The facility this handler team serves.

Hospital name * Full official name as the hospital writes it.

Facility type

Department

4. Units Covered

Which units or programs this team visits. Add one per line.

No units added yet.

5. Credentials

Certifications and degrees held by the handler.

Certification numbers become public. Anyone visiting the site can download this data. Only enter an ID number if the member is comfortable with it being published — the credential is perfectly useful listed without one.

No credentials added yet.

6. Dog

The dog on this handler's team.

Dog role drives the map. It sets the pin colour, the legend, and the role filter. A record with no dog role shows up as a plain grey pin.

Dog's name

Dog role If none of these fit, tell the coordinator rather than picking the closest one.

Breed

Age (years)

Sex

Where the dog came from The organization that bred, raised, or placed the dog. Pick Other if it isn't listed.

Paired with handler since Four-digit year.

Emoji Optional flourish on the detail card. If an option shows an empty box instead of a picture, your device doesn't have that emoji — pick a different one.

7. Social Media

Accounts people can follow. Add as many as you like — one row per platform.

Public accounts only. These links are published on the map and downloadable by anyone. Don't add a personal account the member wouldn't want a stranger to open, and check with the handler before adding a hospital program account on their behalf.

Paste the full web address — open the profile in a browser and copy what's in the address bar. A handle on its own (@maple_the_dog) doesn't say which account it belongs to on every platform.

Handler (the dog's owner)

The handler's own professional accounts.

No handler accounts added yet.

Dog

The dog's own account, or the hospital's facility dog program account.

No dog accounts added yet.
