Our Collaboration Program

Are you passionate about animal welfare and responsible pet ownership? Committed to placing your pups in homes that you feel will have the best chances of being in forever homes with people just as passionate about those dogs as you are? Want to know that your adopters are educated in the proper care of their new pup and that they have the knowhow, resources, awareness and support to be the best pet parents they can be throughout the entirety of the pup’s life? Join our collaboration program and become a part of our mission to create educated and loving pet owners while reducing the number of homeless pets ending up in shelters every single day! LearningFurLove needs you to make reducing these numbers a reality!

How it Works:

It is simple and costs you nothing and will not take away from the time the dogs under your care so desperately need, we only ask that you require your adopters complete the LearningFurLove Responsible Pet Ownereship, Awareness and Preparedness Course as a condition of adoption giving LearningFurLove the ability to ensure that as many new pet owners are properly prepared for their pet ownership journey resulting in less surrenders, abandonment and neglect and that you maintain a standard of care at your premises expected of rescue organizations. You send them to the Learningfurlove site to complete the course, they purchase the course through the site, you don’t have to handle the money at all, and you simply log in to verify their completion. That’s all there is to it.
