Ready to get more pets back home? In preparation for the Return to Home Challenge, every Wednesday during the month of September, there will be a 50-minute Zoom Huddle at 12pm PT/3pm ET around two specific Return to Home practices. You can register now (and once) for all four huddles.

Each Zoom Huddle will consist of 20-minute presentations from peers involved in Return to Home programs at their animal shelter or rescue organization. This will be followed by 30-minute Q&A. Topics will coincide with the Return to Home practices.

You only have to register once to sign up for all of the huddles. You do not have to be a participant in the challenge to join! We look forward to seeing you!
