Webinar: Big Dog Behavior Data – Insights and Innovative Strategies for Shelters
Date: Wednesday, December 4th
Time: 2 PM EST / 11 AM PST
Join us for an insightful webinar on Big Dog Behavior Data, part of the Data Foundations Series powered by Hill’s Pet Nutrition. This session will feature Dr. Lisa Gunter, Assistant Professor, and Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, Associate Professor, at the Virginia Tech School of Animal Sciences. This inciteful discussion will be moderated by Kristen Hassen from Outcomes for Pets and hosted by Shelter Animals Count.
We’ll explore data-driven strategies and innovative programs designed to support large dogs in shelters and reduce their length of stay. Key topics will include behavior support both during and after adoption, the role of short-term fostering, safety net fostering to prevent intake, and post-placement support programs that improve outcomes. We’ll also discuss the impact of cohousing, breed labeling, and other shelter practices on big dog welfare.
Representatives from Shelter Animals Count and Hill’s Pet Nutrition will share the latest data and insights to equip shelters with effective, compassionate solutions for big dogs in their care.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn practical approaches for fostering positive outcomes and building stronger support systems for big dogs in your community!
