Session #1 - January 21, 2025 - Exploring Pet Inclusive Transportation Options to Increase Access to Veterinary Care

Pet-friendly or pet-inclusive transportation is a recurring barrier identified by public-facing staff and volunteers across the human and animal welfare sectors. Families who struggle to find pet-friendly transportation are directly affected in their ability to access care for their animals. By highlighting these barriers and some solutions, we aim to expand the conversation to help increase access to veterinary care for bonded pet families in need.

This session will touch on local transit options, including public transport and specialized pet shuttle services. We will also spotlight examples of organizations that have successfully leveraged their own resources to create effective transportation solutions.


Guest Speakers: 
- Geraldine D'Silva, Maddie's National Director of Programs & Partnerships at Open Door Veterinary Collective

- Gayle Bair, Pet Retention Liaison at Animal Friends

- Marty Sampson, Founder and CEO at Leash

- Sarah McGoldrick, Vice President of Animal Operations at Dallas Pets Alive!
