Last week I had the privilege of attending the Best Friends Animal Society Conference in Dallas. What an experience to be around such amazing people in rescue. For 3 days straight, I attended a variety of seminars and learned a lot. Best Friends goal is to have the US no-kill (i.e. 90% live release) by 2025. Can you imagine?
She attended seminars on Mastering Technology to Save More Lives, Managed Intake, Cultivating a Community of Pet Fostering, and many more.
