Nevada Humane Society launched their animal Help Desk in 2007 and has since
seen a consistent decline in animals surrendered to the shelter. It just
shows that even in tough economic times, when some communities are seeing
double digit increases in incoming pets, that it is possible to actually
reduce the number of animals in need of sheltering.
Through the help desk free advice is offered on behavior modification,
training, general health care and spay/neuter information. The truth is that
many situations *can* be resolved in a manner that will help keep the
animals out of the shelters.
This webinar focuses on how providing a free "Animal Help Desk" could help
decrease the number of pets coming into YOUR shelter.
