Conversations for Homing Animals in our Communities

Our mission is to embrace an Evidence Based approach to Homing Animals in our communities.  The facts presented on Thursday can guide our conversations.

The outcomes we produce may be:

Recommendations for the National Organizations that govern our industry;

Toolkits for the agencies that support pet families in our municipalities; and,

A consensus for the priorities we will support as an industry.

The talented and trusted Karen Dawson will lead us and facilitate our conversation.
