With my co-presenter, Jess Sandstrom from Howling Success, we created this Rescue Radar: Spotting red flags and green flags in the rescue and shelters to help anyone considering adopting or fostering a dog feel more confident and informed about navigating the rescue world.
Jess and I entered the animal training through rescue, sheltering, and fostering. We’ve seen the very best (and worst) of what’s out there — and this talk is our way of sharing what we’ve learned.
In the webinar, we go over:
✅ Green flags — What ethical, responsible rescues do well, like offering ongoing support and being transparent about behaviour and health
🚩 Red flags — Things to watch out for, like outdated training advice, no vet care, or lack of contracts and policies
❓ What to ask — The kinds of questions that can help you feel confident choosing a rescue group, whether you’re fostering, adopting, or volunteering
Whether you’re a first-time adopter or want to know how to better support good rescue practices, I hope you’ll find this helpful.
You can reserve your tickets and watch the webinar whenever you want via this link—and it’s free for everyone!
