August 15th Webinar! Register now at https://learning.theaawa.org/p/8-15-23
Register now (it's free!) to join us in an exciting round table webinar! Adopt a Pet's in-house expert April Huntsman and data experts from Shelter Animals Count and the ASPCA will be unveiling the results of their latest research on animal sheltering and peer-to-peer rehoming, including demographics, from the first half of 2023.

We'll highlight a new scientific model that projects how many millions of animals will enter the animal sheltering system across the country by the end of the year. And we'll release the findings from a just-conducted survey that digs deeper into what we’re seeing in shelters—and why.

"Want to learn about the program that has a feline reclaim rate eight times the national average? Listen to the Community Cats Podcast episode, “How to Reunite Pets and Owners with Corinne Bourgoin, Operations Coordinator, MSPCA Boston Adoption Center.”

In Corinne’s discussion with host Stacy LeBaron, she explains how the MSPCA reunites lost pets with their owners. She details what goes on behind the scenes once a stray cat is brought in. She also stresses that in order to have a successful program, there needs to be an organizational mindset shift.

Corinne discusses some of the challenges in differentiating lost cats from neighborhood cats; she also provides some helpful tips on how to effectively distinguish these cats. Additionally, she talks about low-cost spay/neuter programs and TNR and shares a downloadable template of paper collars." -- from Maddie's Fund and Community Cats Podcast

In the news: NPR broadcast on shelter overcrowding

No-kill animal shelters across the southern U.S. are overcrowded and have few alternatives to find more space or staff. Much of the problem is due to pandemic pets that people don't want anymore.

7PM Update: All these dogs were adopted and rescued today!! 😁

We know so many animals shelters are in a space crisis. How are you handling it, any successful ideas to share? Oakland Animal Services is using transparency, online tools (like AdoptaPet.com and Rehome by Adopt a Pet) and asking their community for help.
