We use Petszel, Petcademy for cat adoptions, and GoodPup for dog adoptions. All of them are great. Petszel is free to use and the adopter's dashboard has our entire adoption packet and local services (vet clinics, training, boarding, grooming, etc). We can notate which services are at locations that we recommend. The dashboard also offers a variety of informative articles to help with transition or behavior. We are definitely getting more feedback from our adopters and able to provide support quicker when they are completing the post adoption surveys. The surveys also provide insight on how likely the adopter would be to recommend your organization, how the pet is adjust, and any issues they may be experiencing. The early surveys also remind adopters to ensure microchip information is up to date and schedule a vet appointment if needed to establish the newly adopted pet with their vet.
Petcademy and GoodPup do not provide our adoption packet to adopters, but when used, they provide great adoption support. Cat adopters automatically receive a text to start Petcademy, and we are able to see any questions they may ask the Petcademy team. We typically provide the free week and discount code for GoodPup, but if an adoption requests additional behavior support, we will pay for a scholarship for them.

Subject: Petcadaemy? Petszel? Has anyone used these for post adoption support?
Hello,
I am loving these ideas for post-adoption support and outsourcing the work. Does anyone have any experience with either of these programs and are they worth the money? Have they impacted adoption return rates? Are customers satisfied?
Thank you!
