Lost and Loved: Empowering Your Community to Get Lost Pets Home

August 7, 2024 5:00 PM Eastern Time / 2:00 PM Pacific Time

We all know so many of the stray animals that end up in our shelters have families out there missing them. Ideally, everyone would know what to do when their pet goes missing, and we could get lost pets home quickly. Yet, recent data reveals a concerning trend: there has been a 26% regression in Return to Home (Owner) for dogs since 2019.

This August, join your peers for a live Q&A discussion with industry experts on how to boost reclaim rates, build trust in your communities while educating them on prevention methods, and empower field officers to return pets home in the field.

Panelists:

Kaitlyn Pappas, Pet Resources Manager of Pima Animal Care Center
Michelle Figueroa, Program Manager of Pima Animal Care Center
Nick Walton, Senior Manager of National Shelter Support for Best Friends Animal Society
Lorien Clemens, Chief Executive Officer of PetHub

This panel will be moderated by Katelyn Durkin, Manager, Network Partner Relations for Best Friends Animal Society.

Together, we'll discuss strategies for returning lost/stray pets and share innovative ways to ensure more pets get back home. Register now and join live on August 7 at 5pm ET.
