    Join Open Door Veterinary Collective for short and lively conversations as we explore innovative and practical solutions that organizations are using to address barriers to accessing pet care and resources in their communities.

    On February 18, our topic is Pethelpfinder.org. Find out about the research, why this database uses the term "financially friendly" care and how it is expanding the connection and conversation on accessible pet care among non-profit animal welfare agencies, social service agencies, private practice veterinarians and leaders in the field!

    We'll share site features, benefits to pet families and benefits for listed service providers and social service agencies. We're adding more benefits every day! We'll also share some site statistics, insights on exciting plans for future development and cover how the site can help you during man-made or natural disasters.

    Here is the link to register and find more information on our other sessions coming up.

    See you there!

    This webinar was excellent for accessing information for our community. We currently have a Social Worker on staff and one as a volunteer. I have shared this information with social workers and hope to dive deeply. We, WAGS Pet Adoption, would like to increase transport opportunities, have more veterinary resources for our citizens, and, of course, increase funding for spaying/neutering. WAGS is fortunate to have six part-time and one volunteer veterinarian vets, and four want to do spay/neuter, but we can't afford four days a week. We know we will bring in over 2500 kittens this year based on the trend of the past three years. WAGS seems to be one of the only kitten-saving services in our area, so we believe we receive more "lost" kittens in our zip code.  I will be following the thread for more information. Thank you.
