One of the best ways to help animals is through legislation. This class will prepare you to understand what the Texas 2009 legislative agenda will entail.

ASPCA® MEET YOUR MATCH™  CANINE-ALITY

“The Drive-By Version”

PET PLACEMENT PARTNERS

Working Together to Place Pets in Your Community

Every homeless animal in your area is the shared responsibility of the community.  Agencies share other resources: donor dollars, media time, pool of potential adopters.  Why not share the resource of adoptable  pets? This workshop addresses ways to share the burden among your community’s animal agencies and spread the word to the public about your adoption needs.

Presented by: Kit Jenkins, Program Manager, PetSmart Charities

Cat match-making via the MYM Feline-ality program will boost your adoptions with guided selections your adopters will bond to in a heart-beat.  Whether their tastes run to the Party Animal or the Love Bug, Feline-ality will ferret out the true nature of both cat and potential adopter though this color coded system and ensure a good match. Come learn about it in short form, to see if your organization is ready to make the connection.

MAKING THEIR LIVES COUNT

“Using Statistics to Enhance Your Goals

 and Save More Lives”.

We will never be able to move forward if we do not know from where we have come.  Using statistics does more than just tell you  how many animals your organization handled, it can help you develop pro-active programs to prevent them from ever becoming homeless.

Presented by:  Tara Yurkshat, Director of Operations, Dumb Friends League;

 Corey Price, Associate Director of Special Projects, SPCA of Texas

 

 

IT’S NOT AS DIFFICULT AS YOU THINK!

“The Nuts & Bolts of Using Statistics to

Save More Lives”

Now that you know how statistics can save lives, learn how to implement them in your organization. This step by step approach will help even the most number phobic person develop an easy program to follow.
