SUMMARY:Webinar - 11/19/25 - Big Dogs\, Big Challenges: Data-Driven Solutions to Move Dogs Out of Shelters - Shelter Animals Count
DESCRIPTION:Large dogs continue to be one of the biggest challenges for shelters across the country—often staying longer\, facing more barriers to adoption\, and contributing to capacity pressures. But shelters and rescues are finding creative\, data-driven solutions to help these dogs move from crowded kennels into loving homes. \nIn this session\, we’ll highlight strategies that organizations are using to overcome the challenges of placing big dogs\, from innovative foster programs to targeted adoption promotions and community partnerships. You’ll also hear how data is helping shelters identify what works\, where gaps remain\, and how to adapt programs for greater impact. \nWhether your kennels are full or you’re looking to build stronger pathways for large dogs\, this webinar will provide practical ideas and inspiration you can put into action right away. \nThis webinar will be recorded. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Btr6qVDTRbS2bCGa1KFQMg#/registration
