Network with conference attendees at Connecticut Humane Society and enjoy a shelter tour. Light hors d’oeuvres and drinks will be provided. 

With increasing numbers of pets entering shelters in need of proactive behavior care, there is an urgent need for comprehensive, reinforcement-based behavior intervention at the individual animal level beyond the shelter environment. This session will help your organization develop behavior case management solutions for pets - yes, not just dogs! - in need through professional trainer foster recruitment.

Join NEFHS for a craft-themed networking event. Perfect for the introvert and extravert alike, mix and mingle with attendees. Drinks and snacks will be provided.

Do you wish your community better understands the needs of dogs with behavioral challenges? Do you dream of the day that your behavior team can more easily support dogs in the shelter AND in your community? Join us in a 60-minute session where attendees will give voice to the ever-growing need for behavioral support in our communities and take steps in adopting a triage modal approach to providing community behavioral support.
