    Hello Everyone,

    Please join us tomorrow for another exciting Friday Animal Welfare Leadership Round-up call!

    Last week, we heard from @Brent Toellner about the 2021 Best Friends dataset, and @JESSICA ARNOLD and the folks at Petfinder about the number of currently available pets.

    This week, we are going to focus on (1) what and (2) the best way we can ask the public for help as we balance transparency backed by data and effective, actionable messaging.

    We hope to see you there for this important discussion!
