Today, I received an interesting press release, which could help some of you or the people you work with:

"To lend a hand, the Help Your Pet, Get to the Vet Campaign is on a mission to distribute more than $250,000 in $20 Veterinary Vouchers to encourage thousands of Americans to get their pets to the vet. Up to 1,000 will be distributed daily from February 16 until February 28 via http://www.gettothevet.com/ ."

It seems like a great opportunity, and we all know that every little bit helps when it comes to veterinary expenses!

In other news, don't forget that our February teleseminar is with Joan Mayer on the 26th.NAPRP Members may listen live or download the recording later as part of their member benefits.

Here's the description:

Accomplish More with Your Staff Training: Joan Mayer, CPDT, will talk about how to provide practical training for shelter staff and volunteers geared towards increasing the adoptability of shelter animals, decreasing their return rate, and ultimately reducing the number of dogs relinquished in the first place. Joan is the founder of The Inquisitive Canine (http://inquisitivecanine.com/) where her love-of-dog training approach focuses on the importance of understanding canine behavior and teaching dogs through techniques that reward and motivate.

I've been communicating with Joan and I am SO looking forward to this teleseminar. I love her attitude toward training. She says that she "teaches people to teach dogs." Cool ;-)
