Description

As animal welfare shifts toward a more community-centric and proactive approach, it's essential to acknowledge how our language and actions can create a disconnect between our organization and the communities we serve. This session will highlight strategies for enhancing your return-to-owner program by moving away from a transactional, impersonal, and punitive model to one where your animal care center collaborates with the community to support animals. Discover how one organization transformed its return-to-owner program using these strategies, leading to an RTO rate of over 70% for dogs.
