About the Conference
How can your community bring an end to the killing of healthy homeless pets? Cities, counties, and entire states across the country are doing it. ... and yours can, too!
Meet the people who are creating a new world for homeless pets at this landmark gathering of experts from across the country, as we explore strategies to develop no-kill communities.
The conference includes panel discussions, workshops and optional intensive seminars that explore successful model programs and provide how-to information on community outreach strategies, fundraising methods, increasing adoptions and spay/neuter, feral cat programs, volunteer recruitment, media relations, and coping with burnout.
You'll learn how to launch or play a part in a No More Homeless Pets program in your own community.
