Event Navigation

Many animals are surrendered to shelters due to medical issues that an owner cannot afford to treat, but many of these owners would keep their pets if they could. There is usually no option for low cost/free, full-service (incremental care) medicine, due to laws, vet associations, and a lack of providers. The situation is also complicated by the lack of data to help target a solution to an affordable level. We’ll discuss how to calculate a goal and fit a solution to your shelter’s needs. Learn about the 3 types of medical care that communities can start providing to families now in an effort to decrease shelter surrender and increase reclaim of pets with inaccessible medical needs.

This webinar will especially benefit shelter medical staff, shelter executives, and other operational leaders.

This session is part of the Shelter Medicine series, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.
