Preserving Bonds and Preventing Intake with Barrier-Free Services
Thursday, August 31, at 9 a.m. PDT
From housing to food to vet care, costs keep rising, and families are struggling; you may be surprised by what's considered low-income in your area. What do families really need to keep their pets? How much of what we believe about why animals end up at our shelters is incomplete or based on oversimplified data? The reasons people surrender their pets are varied and often interwoven, and so are the alternative solutions that can help animals stay in their homes.
Four panelists will share ideas for accessible interventions that divert intake to keep more pets and people together. They'll also explore processes for determining and delivering those services in a welcoming, judgment-free manner to ensure community members get the support they need when they need it: before the crisis.
Panelists:
Everyone is welcome!
Pull up a seat to this conversation and each of the four roundtables in this series for fresh ideas you can implement, plus a chance at winning a limited-edition poster celebrating what's possible when we unite to keep and bring more pets and people together. One attendee at each roundtable will be randomly selected to receive their favorite of six posters featuring illustrations by California artists.
