1. Who is Petcademy and what does this mean for my rescue?
Petcademy offers customized training for adopters, fosters, and pet parents with over 70 animated lessons and certified trainer support. Their mission is to create a world where no animal is surrendered due to behavioral problems.
What this team-up means for you, is that you now have another resource in your toolbelt to help new adopters. By joining Petcademy, you are able to offer pet parents training and behavioral support for their animals. As a result, you see a reduction in returns by being able to provide support to flustered adopters and fosters.
"Petcademy allows small organizations like mine to have their own 'behavior team' to assist adopters and communities."
Cole Wakefield - Executive Director @ Good Shepard Humane Society

3. How do I know what information Petcademy is sharing with my adopters and fosters?
Like us, Petcademy believes in transparency. Your rescue will have a dashboard where you will have full visibility of the information being sent to your adopters, fosters, and pet parents. When someone messages your rescue's Petcademy number, you'll receive an email notification of a new task for review. These tasks show the conversation between Petcademy and adopters, fosters, and pet parents.
