Shelter Partnership Program
LeashAgain is a behavior support app that gives rescue dog adopters a personalized 30/60/90 day plan for the fragile first months after adoption, the exact window when most returns happen. We partner with shelters to make that support part of the adoption process itself, at no cost and no extra work for your team.
What adopters get
Why it matters for your shelter
Help reduce preventable returns, by giving adopters structured support during the critical first weeks at home.
Extend your support beyond adoption day without adding additional work or follow-up calls for your staff.
Give adopters somewhere to turn when problems start, before frustration leads to a surrender or return.
Support more successful placements by building adopter confidence with ongoing guidance to understand behavior, establish routines, and work through common adjustment challenges.
How It Works
Three steps to partner with us
This is intentionally simple. There is nothing to sign up for, set up, or manage on your end.
01
Tell us you're in
Reach out and show interest. We'll add your shelter to the list adopters choose from in the app, no application or paperwork required.
02
Hand out our flyer
Give the LeashAgain flyer to adopters at the point of adoption. That's the only thing we ask of you.
03
We track everything
Adopters select your shelter's name when they sign up, so every referral from your shelter is tracked automatically.

A Vetted Network
Backup for every stage of the journey
When an adopter needs more than the app can give, we connect them to a vetted network of professionals, so your shelter is never their only option.
Trainers
For hands-on behavior work.
Walkers
For daily exercise and routine.
Sitters
For trusted care
Nutritionists
For diet and weight guidance.
Behaviourists
For deeper fear, reactivity cases
Requirements
Who we accept
01
Credentialed and in good standing
With an organization endorsing the Joint Standards of Practice and Professional Code of Ethics, APDT International, IAABC, IAABC-F, Karen Pryor Academy, or a similar recognized body.
02
Two years with shelter or rescue dogs
Minimum. Rescue behavior work is its own discipline, decompression, unknown history, and fear-based reactivity.
03
Virtual and in-person sessions
Able to offer both. Some early-phase work is better done over video, in the dog's own quiet home.
04
Liability insurance
Professional or general liability coverage is required, and verified before your first referral.
05
Fear Free Certified, preferred
Not required, but it moves your application up the list.
