Engaging With Experts
Shelter veterinarians, shelter leaders and leading experts in the shelter medicine field came together in Jacksonville, Florida for the 6th annual Maddie’s® Shelter Medicine conference. Attendees were able to broaden their knowledge and gain vital new understanding of issues facing shelters and shelter veterinarians across the country, as well as evidence-based solutions for helping shelter animals.
Partnering With Best Friends
Held from October 10th-13th at the Hyatt Regency along Jacksonville’s waterfront, this year’s conference featured an exciting partnership with Best Friends Animal Society to greatly expand the opportunities for participants to learn and engage with experts on the latest in shelter medicine techniques.
The Maddie’s® Shelter Medicine Program teamed up with the Best Friends No More Homeless Pets National Conference to offer an exclusive Shelter Medicine Track at the Jacksonville event.
