All dogs, big and small, deserve a safe place to call home. But dogs with challenging behaviors often need a little extra help and out-of-the-box thinking to move them toward adoption. During this town hall, Best Friends staff members will share a pilot program they created and are using at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary to help the most challenging dogs enjoy life and develop positive relationships with humans. They will introduce you to techniques to help at-risk dogs cope, some of which you can emulate in a shelter environment. You’ll hear about the non-traditional use of traditional tools and get the resources you need to help your agency’s challenging dogs progress safely.
Moderator: Bethany Heins – Director of Strategy and Network Operations, Best Friends Animal Society
