What does it do?
This integration between Shelterluv and Clinic HQ is currently one-directional, meaning data flows from Shelterluv into Clinic HQ.
The integration does the following things:
- Imports selected animals and animal characteristics from Shelterluv
- Imports foster information from Shelterluv
- Imports behavioral tags from Shelterluv
- Imports microchip number
- Imports vaccines given from Shelterluv (it does not bring over any other services rendered)
- Enables you to assign a Shelterluv animal to a placeholder appointment based on Shelterluv ID
In the future, Shelterluv may choose to enable a two-way integration that allows data to be pulled from HQ back into Shelterluv. However, this functionality would be managed solely by Shelterluv, and we do not have control over if or when this will happen.
Even as a one-way integration, this system offers major time-saving benefits by streamlining your intake process and minimizing administrative workload. The first month to test the integration is free, then $99 per month.
What data comes over?
The data that comes over is the following:
- Animal Name
- Shelterluv ID
- Species
- Sex
- Weight
- Age
- Colors
- Breed
- Volume Client Owner (foster) name
- VCO phone
- VCO email
- VCO address
- Attributes from SL (will be inserted as an animal note)
- Intake Date
- Microchip number
- Vaccines entered into Shelterluv
Turning on the integration
- First step is to request an API key from Shelterluv. Here’s how to do that.
- You’ll then go to Settings > Integrations > Shelterluv Add On > and click Turn on Integration button.
- You will copy and paste your API key into the Shelterluv API Key field and select your Shelter from the drop down list. Note: If the correct shelter is not displayed, do not proceed forward. Stop and open a help ticket.

Mapping services
- The second step is to map Shelterluv vaccines to HQ vaccines. To do this, go to Settings > Shelterluv Addon
- Click the Map Vaccines section
- Select Add Vaccine button and begin adding common Shelterluv vaccines and selecting the HQ counterpart to that vaccine. It’s not necessary to map all your vaccines; start with the most common ones, others can be added later.
