Seminars for Pet Owners

Amy Shever, Director, 2nd Chance 4 Pets, is hosting a “webinar” entitled Lifetime Care for Pets:  Ensuring that pets will be cared for should they outlive their human companions on July 17, 18, and 24, 2007.

Here is a description of the program:

Thousands of animal companions are relinquished and euthanized in animal shelters and in veterinarian offices each year simply because their humans died or were too ill to care for their pets.  This session will explore what options are available to ensure “lifetime care” for our pets and how to educate pet adopters about planning for their pets should their pets outlive them.

2nd Chance 4 Pets is an all-volunteer nonprofit advocacy group focusing their entire efforts on this issue with the goal of reducing the number of animals euthanized due to the death or disability of their human caregivers.

During this webinar, Amy Shever from 2nd Chance 4 Pets will discuss how you and the pet adopters in your community can plan for the lifetime care of your pets.  Amy will also talk about how your organization can hold effective workshops in your community to help people make appropriate plans for their pets.  You’ll hear how these workshops provide the venue for presenting important information to pet lovers in your community and how you can utilize the workshops to match homeless pets with new pet adopters and identify new donors.
