FAQ

  • Is Petcademy really free?

    Yes! We don't charge rescues, shelters or pet parents for our foster or adoption courses. Our goal is to make sure pet parents have the information necessary to successfully transition their animal into the home!

  • How does Petcademy make money?

    Throughout our courses we recommend a variety of products for the pet parent to purchase. We receive a small commission for all purchased products. We only recommend products we believe in. Long term, our goal is to develop paid courses for pet parents that want to take their training to the next level.

  • Can Petcademy integrate with Shelterluv?

    Yes! All you need to do is opt-in to Petcademy in your Shelterluv system. Through Shelterluv, you can seamlessly onboard your fosters and adopters with Petcademy's free courses.
