Online Learning

The Koret Shelter Medicine Program (KSMP) envisions a future where every shelter team member can deliver the care animals in shelters need, when and where it's needed most. The Shelter Learniverse online learning program’s mission is to provide valuable, easily accessible online learning to enhance the lives of shelter animals and support the dedicated teams caring for them, while addressing the profound Access to Care challenges many shelters and communities are facing.

Generously Funded by Maddie's Fund®

The Shelter Learniverse is supported by Maddie's Fund®, the driving force behind the Maddie's® Million Pet Challenge - #ThanksToMaddie. This initiative aims to transform the well-being of companion animals everywhere. Join us in envisioning a world where every shelter has the resources to offer every at-risk animal the Right Care, in the Right Place, at the Right Time, leading to the Right Outcome.

Access to Care

In response to access to care challenges, both KSMP and Maddie’s Fund® are dedicated to providing comprehensive educational initiatives that equip shelter staff with essential medical, behavioral, and shelter best practices training.  We're here to support you and supercharge the care you're able to provide for animals in shelters.
