They came from far and wide, from England, Australia, Canada and all across the United States to learn what they could to lower euthanization rates in their communities.
For Lynn Johannessen of Sydney, Australia, attending workshops was the boost she needed to help in her efforts back home with homeless special-needs and critical-care pets. Meeting experts in the field, at the conference hosted in Las Vegas by Best Friends October 24-27, those who have done it first-hand, was the inspiration she said she was looking for. Ive learned so much, Lynn said. I want to take these ideas and tips back to Australia. We need a positive change. Lynn was one of 650 people 65 percent of whom had never before attended an animal welfare workshop who are all about positive change toward a day when there will be no more homeless pets.
The three-day national conference was chock-full of informative sessions, including about puppy mills and how to help those animals, how to not get carried away and take in too many pets, how to assist shy and frightened dogs and cats come out of their shells, how to help a shelter go no-kill, how to get more donors, more foster homes and more volunteers.
