Session Topic: Supporting Your Fosters: Leveraging your community to increase foster engagement and satisfaction through low to no cost methods
In this presentation, we'll learn about successful strategies used by foster-based rescue One Tail at a Time to train and support foster caregivers. With a focus on practical, budget-friendly methods, we'll hear how this high-volume foster program prepares over 1,700 foster families for their roles and keeps them coming back for more.
Guest Speaker: Stacy Price, Operations Director at One Tail at a Time
Stacy Price has over 15 years of animal welfare experience, starting her career studying techniques to prevent stress behaviors in zoo animals. Her focus was forever changed in 2009 when she adopted an overlooked senior white shepherd from a county shelter. With Vlad as her inspiration, Stacy has spent the last 10 years in leadership positions at various open intake and managed admission facilities before landing the job as One Tail at a Time's Operations Director. When she’s not working, you can likely find Stacy at home with her five cats, three dogs, rabbit, horse and incredibly tolerant husband.
