National return to owner (RTO) rates hover around 40% for stray and lost dogs and it’s even lower (4%) for cats. The Northern Tier Shelter Initiative (NTSI) team became curious when they recognized that Northern Tier shelters’ RTO rates tend to be higher than the national average. In fact, organizations reporting to the NTSI Shelter Animals Count Coalition return, on average, 64% of stray dogs and 8% of stray cats. Returning animals back to homes they already have is vital to ending overcrowding and euthanasia in shelters. In this webinar, you will hear from three agencies: Circle of Friends, ND; City of Havre, MT; and Heart of the Valley, MT about how and why they have been successfully reuniting pets with their families in their communities.

Takeaways

  • Understand how building a culture of reuniting lost pets is key to helping get more lost pets home.
  • Learn how peers are using community engagement as a strategy for public awareness and ensuring pet caretakers know what to do if they lose or find a pet.
  • Hear from Northern Tier shelter leadership about future plans to increase cat reunification.
