The Pet Rescue Resource is an online toolkit for shelters and rescues designed to improve adoption and retention rates of homeless pets. The resource includes articles, step-by-step training plans and videos designed to support staff and volunteers working with animals in shelters and foster homes in addressing common behavior and welfare issues.
This resource is a product of the Pet Professional Guild’s (PPG) Shelter & Rescue Division and adheres to PPG’s mission of providing the greatest value and highest-quality, state-of-the-art, force-free, science-based training and care for companion animals.
The purpose of the Pet Rescue Resource is to improve the prospects of pets in shelter or rescue by improving adoption and retention rates. It is designed for implementation by handlers with or without behavior modification experience, and with the greatest possible efficiency to minimize additional work for busy staff and volunteers in under-resourced organizations.
This resource is continually being added to and updated, so if you don’t find what you need, check back later or contact us below with suggestions for future modules.
