What Happens After They Go Home?
Understanding the early post-adoption experience is critical to supporting animal welfare, strengthening the human–animal bond, and improving shelter practices. While most adopters report high satisfaction, behavioral and care-related challenges are common. Drs. Weiss and Greenburg will share about their recently published study that used the Petszel platform to evaluate early post-adoption outcomes across more than 22,000 dog and cat adopters from 112 shelters and rescue organzations.
