The purpose of the Found Animals Forum is to bring leaders in animal welfare from around the country to Los Angeles to share their innovative programs that fight shelter euthanasia.  In addition to learning about successful initiatives, the Forum also provides an opportunity for our local community to socialize in a fun and supportive environment.  

The focus of the upcoming Forum is Adoption Success for No More Homeless Pets Los Angeles.  Come learn how municipal and private organizations in other cities have supercharged their adoption programs to dramatically lower shelter euthanasia.  Whether your group is large or small, private or public--there will be relevant ideas for how your organization can boost adoptions and save more animals.

The Forum will feature:

  • Dr. Ellen Jefferson of Austin Pets Alive! sharing about programs that reduced shelter euthanasia in Austin Texas by over 20% in just one year.
  • Susan Cosby of the Pennsylvania SPCA where innovative feline focused programs lead to more than twice as many cat adoptions than dogs.
  • An award ceremony for the winners of the "Animals are our Friends" art contest for LAUSD students.  Winning artwork will be featured in Los Angeles shelter buildings and other public spaces.
  • Q&A with Francis Battista of Best Friends regarding the No More Homeless Pets Los Angeles program
  • More speakers and features to be announced. . .

Following the presentations, there will be a networking reception featuring free vegetarian and vegan food and an open bar (beer and wine only).
