While adoption rates have improved substantially in recent years, nationwide there has been minimal improvement in return-to-owner statistics. Shelters will always be necessary safe havens for pets who truly do not have a home, but inflexible policies and expensive fees still leave too many animals branded as “homeless” even when they have an owner. Countless people are faced with the choice of paying exorbitant costs or leaving their pet in the shelter, which for many is no choice at all. Now that interstate animal transports have become extremely common, it is more crucial than ever for organizations to consider the difficulties some pet owners have in redeeming their pets.

Join us to hear from shelter leaders from across the country about how they are using innovative strategies to drive positive outcomes and reunite pets with the people who love them.
