As animal care and control agencies evolve into Pet Resource Centers, the role of ordinances in shaping community success has never been more critical. Outdated laws—some still referencing “dog catchers”—fail to address the modern approach to animal welfare. Data-driven decision-making now plays a key role in improving service delivery and enabling objective ordinance analysis.
Are there provisions in your local laws that are ineffective or unenforced? Join this webinar to learn how updating policies can empower staff, engage the community, save animal lives, and reduce financial strain on municipalities.
Speaker: Elise “Ledy” VanKavage & Scott Trebatoski
