An unprecedented number of people have opened their homes to a foster pet, and we’ve created a series of short huddle-type presentations to support them. These presentations are geared to help foster coordinators and managers with training for foster caregivers. They’re hosted by our own Dr. Sheila Segurson, Director of Research, Veterinary Behaviorist, and Kelly Duer, Foster Care Specialist.
Feel free to embed these webcasts in your foster training materials and share them with your foster caregivers!
