Pit Bull 101 for Pros: This two hour seminar teaches shelter workers
and ACOs how to identify good adoption candidates, support them
while they are in their care at the shelter, talk to the public about the
breed, and match the dogs with adoptive families that are the best fit
for the breed. This presentation is intended for those who work
directly with animals, such as Animal Care Techs, as well as those who
work directly with the public, such as Front Desk staff and Adoption
Counselors. Contact Jessica for information on this presentation.

| “The Pit Bull for Pros 101 seminar, staff edition, was extremely informative and practical towards our goal to serve the needs of the many bully breeds that find temporary sanctuary here at the shelter. SOME Pit! provided insight on areas from identifying bully breeds from the point of intake, to properly educating adopters for loving, permanent matchmaking. The seminar was encouraging, uplifting and the shelter has already implemented key elements from the seminar. Thank you, SOME Pit!” Danielle Coutu Volunteer and Events Coordinator, Bangor Humane Society, Bangor, ME |
