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

Is your shelter using the proven strategy of Field Return to Home (also known as Field RTH/RTO)? Check out our recent blog about it, written by Best Friends Director of No-Kill Advancement Tawny Hammond, MIS. As Tawny explains, it's a win-win-win. "Keeping pets in their homes reserves precious shelter space for pets in need of emergency sheltering. It saves families time, heartache, and the cost of fines that many cannot afford. And it saves stress on the pet who may do very poorly in the animal shelter." Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/edtWhdeC

Many well-intentioned people see an unfamiliar cat outdoors and automatically assume the animal is homeless—and needs to come to your shelter pronto!

Texans should adopt this holiday season to avoid supporting and endorsing out-of-state puppy mills that supply pet stores and sell pets online. What if you want a purebred? The purebred dog you are looking for might be at your local shelter. Did you know that 25% to 30% of dogs in shelters are purebreds? By adopting a pet from your local shelter or rescue, you will free up space for another homeless animal to have the opportunity to find a forever home and relieve the pressure on shelters and rescues. https://lnkd.in/gGYnbMwB
