Orientation for ORANGE - On Your Mark, Let's Go (For Rescue Groups)

Open Invitation for Rescue Groups

Want to know what the A Sound Begining program is all about and how it can help you to make adoptions "stick"? This is an open invitation for rescue workers and volunteers to attend an orientation session for our Path to Success classes.

Come to an Orange orientation session (the first class in the Path to Success series) where you can learn about what it is that we do and how to educate your foster homes and adopters on canine communication and basic skills in positive reinforcement training. 

Adoptions DO stick when adopters have the tools needed at their fingertips.  And when foster homes can support those adopters by having answers that are helpful to the dog, then the chances of them keeping that dog safe and sound are greater.
