Mobilizing Foster Care: Unlocking the Power of Community-Based Support
Wednesday, June 18th, 2025 2PM EST / 11AM PST
Join us for a focused look at how foster programs are evolving to meet today’s challenges through innovative, community-driven strategies. We’ll highlight short-term fostering initiatives like Arizona Humane Society’s successful Dog Day Out program, showcasing the data they’re collecting, how it’s driving engagement, and the positive impact on long-stay dogs.
With hurricane season underway, you’ll also hear from Brother Wolf Animal Rescue on how they rallied their community to foster every pet ahead of Hurricane Helene, and how they managed operations and pet tracking through the aftermath.
This session will also include foster-related insights from SAC’s 2024 Year-End Report and Hill’s State of the Shelter Report, helping you put national trends into local action.
This webinar will be recorded.
