While countless factors beyond our control are causing an influx of animals into our shelters, we do have some influence over the pace at which they leave. Most members of the public are not acquiring their pets from shelters and rescues and it is on all of us to change that. More adoptions mean more lives saved and more manageable populations in our shelters. Please join us for this important session with speaker Michael Keiley from the MSPCA to take a deep dive into Open Adoption Theory where we will discuss effective conversation-based adoption counseling and take a hard look at policies that drive people away. This one-hour presentation will be followed by a 30-minute opportunity for Q&A with our speaker who has successfully implemented this approach in placing more than 10,000 animals per year in loving homes.

Presenter: Michael Keiley, MSPCA
