This two-part action kit created by Best Friends Animal Society® as part of a grant from PetSmart Charities® describes two ways to help pit-bull-terrier type dogs in your community.

This presentation is designed to help shelters, rescues, and advocates better serve the pit bull dogs in their community and increase adoptions.

Learn America’s history of discrimination against different groups of dogs, how our attitudes, not facts, created the crisis confronting “pit bull” dogs, and how a truer understanding of dogs can inspire us to break the cycle of discrimination once and for all.

Protocols for healthy group housing for shelter cats, including considerations for  facilities, procedures, selection, management and monitoring.

Evaluating and reducing stress in shelter animals, focusing on research results. Includes elements of shelter and kennel design for physical and mental health.

Presentations from "Feline Forum: Practices and New Perspectives" presented by PetSmart Charities® in Chicago, Ill. Sept. 24 - 26, 2009. Presentations are categorized by workshop track.
