Having a well-run foster program reduces the number of animals within your shelter, providing a less stressful environment for those living there. Foster programs are also a great way to engage with your community and increase lifesaving exponentially. During this town hall our expert panel will discuss ways to build up your foster program using recruitment and retention strategies, and share tips on how to utilize your fosters in unique ways to maximize lifesaving. We’ll also share details about the Maddie’s Fund We Foster Challenge, kicking off later this month.

Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A. Submit your questions ahead of time during registration or live during the event using the chat box. If you are interested in this event but unable to attend live, you can register and you will receive the recording when it’s available.
