Gateway Pet Guardians  St. Louis, MO

We are bringing another year of Adoption Options workshops to cities across North America with our partner, Petco Foundation. This traveling workshop series invites animal welfare professionals and volunteers to join us for a free day of education and networking, plus breakfast, lunch and giveaways.

Our first two stops of 2015 were Nashville and Detroit. Together, 248 animal welfare advocates attended workshops on social media, volunteer engagement, shelter medicine and more. Coming up in early summer, we’ll be in St. Louis, Reno and Denver with thirteen locations total. Each attendee receives a take-home booklet of tips, a free Adoption Options t-shirt and other goodies.

I know first-hand the contagious enthusiasm felt during conferences. There are so many new ideas and possibilities! We want to help you extend that feeling back to your shelter or rescue. In collaboration with Petfinder Foundation, we are providing a new grant opportunity exclusive to Adoption Options attendees. Share your information on our Adoption Options evaluation survey after attending a workshop for the chance to apply.

Happy adoptions!
