    Hi everyone! 

    I work on Greater Good Charities' and RedRover's collaborative initiative, Don't Forget the Pets, and I wanted to share our free, self-paced online course available on our website. The course is designed for human service providers who want to create or improve pet accommodations, domestic violence advocates who want to better understand the importance of the human–animal bond, and animal shelters that want to support pets whose families are seeking safety during a crisis.

    Our free, self-paced online training teaches domestic violence shelters, homeless service providers, and animal welfare organizations how to safely and realistically support pets alongside the people who love them.

    Learn about the human–animal bond, how to design pet-friendly spaces in the shelter you already have, and how to overcome common barriers like limited space, allergies, and funding-plus how to build strong community partnerships to make it all possible.

    Whether you're just starting or ready to grow your program, this course gives you the tools to keep families together when it matters most. 💙

    I hope to see some of you join the course, and if you ever have any questions or want to talk through how our organizations may be able to support your journey to becoming pet friendly, feel free to message me at any time!
