SAVE LIVES
Every year, millions of dogs and cats end up in animal shelters. The majority of these animals are lost pets whose owners were unable to find them. By getting missing pets back home quickly and preventing them from becoming lost again, you can save countless lives.
Course 1: Introduction to the world of missing pets
How many pets go missing every year, how many are found, and where do they all go? In this course you will learn the scope of the problem, the societal impacts, and how you can get involved and make a difference.
Course 2: Missing pet recovery in the animal shelter
What happens to stray pets in shelters, and why are so few reclaimed? In this course you will learn the myth of pet overpopulation and how a focus on adoption perpetuates it, the barriers to owner reunion, and how to navigate the shelter system.
Course 3: Becoming a Missing Pet Consultant
How can you help owners find their pets, whether in the community or in the shelters? In this course you will learn missing pet, owner, and finder behavior, effective search techniques, and myths, scams, and bad advice to be avoided.
