Should you or shouldn’t you? When it comes to placing behaviorally challenged dogs, that is the question.

The unintended consequence of reduced shelter populations has been an increase in placements of challenging dogs. We see success stories on social media and television shows, but is there more to the story? What is their quality of life – and that of their owners? Learn more about what effect these dogs are having on the families that love them and the communities they live in.

This panel will bring together research from Seana Dowling-Guyer about what happens to dogs after adoption, with post-adoption case studies from professional dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath, and shelter trends and perspectives from Mike Keiley from MSPCA.

This 90-minute panel and Q&A is part of a 3-part series from The New England Federation of Humane Societies (NEFHS) hosted by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.

This session has been pre-approved for 1.5 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits.
