Help Big Dogs Through Tough Times (and Get Your 2022 CE)

Big Dog Master Class On Demand from Maddie's Million Pet Challenge

With shelter dog populations exceeding pre-pandemic levels, outcomes slowing, transport destinations drying up, and historic levels of staffing turnover, shelters are struggling with medium and large dogs. Everybody is asking, “What do we do?”

Just in time for end-of-year CE, the Big Dog Master Class online conference is now available free and on-demand at Maddie’s® University to help staff at all levels better manage big dog populations.

Based on 5 Components of Big Dog Management:

  • Ensuring Public Safety
  • Intake Management
  • Maximizing Live Outcomes
  • Providing Humane Care
  • Cost-efficiency

14 info-packed short sessions to explore at your own pace and learn how to maximize organizational efficiencies, utilize technologies, build proven programs, and implement transparent, effective policies

We brought the nation’s top experts together – among them veterinarians, epidemiologists, veterinary behaviorists, shelter directors, trainers, and national leaders – to give you actionable programs that don’t require special skills or breaking the bank to make positive changes.

This free, on-demand, virtual conference opportunity is made possible by support from Maddie’s Fund® and organized by the Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge and Human Animal Support Services, and is approved for 8 hours of CE credit by RACE, NACA, and CAWA.
