The Road Map to Creating a No-Kill Country in 2025 Conference Session
To make the entire country no-kill in 2025, we must know the state of animal sheltering and lifesaving in every state, community and shelter. That’s why, a few years ago, Best Friends launched the biggest data collection effort in the history of animal welfare, and it’s why we continue to keep the data as current as possible. In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into the Best Friends national dataset, providing attendees with key insights on progress toward achieving no-kill nationwide and, most important, ways that shelters and rescue groups can get involved and save more lives.
Speaker: Brent Toellner, Senior Director, National Programs, Best Friends Animal Society
