The Best Friends Town Hall series brings together thought leaders from Best Friends and across the industry to provide insight, analysis, and solutions to the unprecedented challenges to lifesaving that we’re all facing right now.
The topic of each town hall reflects the most earnest conversations happening that week in animal welfare. We treat the event as an interactive forum where live questions from attendees are answered with a crowd-sourced solution that benefits all.
Every live town hall is recorded and posted down below. Keep an eye on this page for updates each week.
Join us for our next Town Hall:
Keeping Families Together: Navigating the Blurry Lines Between Neglect, Cruelty and Lack of Access to Care– As we navigate the change to impounding only high-priority intakes, Animal Control Officers come across field cases where impounding an animal is necessary. But, there are also cases where providing the owner with resources keeps the pet at home and out of the shelter. Join us for this town hall where Best Friends Director of National Municipal and Shelter Support (and NACA president) Scott Giacoppo, helps you define cruelty vs. resource deprivation to establish your own organizational guidelines for when to provide resources vs. impound an animal.
Panelists:
Audra Michael CPM, Director, Pinal County Animal Care and Control
Nick Walton, Manager of National Municipal and Shelter Support, Best Friends
April Moore, Chief Officer of Animal Services, Kansas City Pet Project
