    Webinar – 4/16/26 – Maddie’s Insights – Fur-ever starts now: Supporting dogs and adopters post-adoption – Maddie’s Fund

    April 16 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PDT
    Virtual

    Maddie’s Fund Presents: In 2018, Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, launched a post-adoption support program. Adopters from any UK Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre receive follow-up calls about their dog’s health and behavior at 2 days, 2 weeks, and 4 months after adoption. This presentation reviews the program’s methodology and participant cohort, highlights the most common adopter-reported concerns, examines use of behavior support (and reasons it’s declined), and explores return-to-kennel rates, including when and why dogs are returned.
