Field Return to Home/Return to Owner is a successful strategy that keeps pets in their homes, preserving shelter space for those truly in need. Educating communities on this approach is crucial. Owners must ensure pets are microchipped and wear ID tags with up-to-date contact information. This simple step saves time, effort, heartache, and costs for owners while reducing stress for animals brought into shelters. By raising awareness and staying informed, we aim to achieve a No-Kill nation by 2025. Explore the blog by Best Friends Animal Society's Director of No-Kill Advancement, Tawny Hammond, MIS. We need to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. #AnimalWelfare #NoKillNation #PetOwnership #CommunityEducation #NoKill2025 #Advocacy #Awareness #Microchipping #ShelterCrisis #VoicesForTheVoiceless

And it saves stress on the pet who may do very poorly in the animal shelter." Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/edtWhdeC
