A recent survey revealed that 62% of shelters either don’t have, are just getting started or would benefit from improvement of their post-adoption follow-up programs.  In this session, we talked about how different organizations are working to keep different types of pets in homes by supporting adopters after they take their pet home. We also learned about behavior certification: Veterinary Technician Specialist (Behavior).
