Frustrated by upper respiratory tract infections? Don’t know what else to do? You’re not alone. Upper respiratory infections are the most common infectious diseases seen in shelter cats.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ADOPTION STRATEGIES

How many potential adopters are there in your community? The answer: probably more than the number of pets in your care. This workshop will help you determine how many pets you can potentially place, based on your population, and will offer a plan to move your adoption program into the stratosphere by re-examining the “facts” behind adoption.

TRAINING SHELTER DOGS
4 pm – 5: 30 pm

Animal welfare professionals have a responsibility to provide true quality of life for each dog in their program. This workshop covers the importance of achieving and maintaining quality of life for dogs in shelters. Training, behavior modification programs, and mental, behavioral and emotional stimulation for dogs will be covered. We will explore some fun and easy ways to train adoptable dogs so they can put their
best paw forward. Shelter dogs will be used for demonstration.
