    More Information on the MMPC Learniverse:


    With the Maddie's®️ Million Pet Challenge, the Five Key Initiatives of the Million Cat Challenge have expanded to include other species at risk in shelters and evolved into the Four Rights.  

    Within the Four Rights, every element works in concert to support one another: animals and people are treated as individuals, empowering shelter staff to make the best decisions for everyone; community safety net services are in place and flourishing; and humane care within the shelter is provided, with appropriate outcomes for the animals that do come in, allowing shelters to deliver the Right Care, in the Right Place, at the Right Time, and to the Right Outcome.

    This course focuses on how shelters may inadvertently put barriers in place that prevent animals from leaving the shelter by the Adoption pathway when that is the "Right Outcome" for the animal.  Removing barriers to adoption can help support the Right Outcome component of the Four Rights.
