True pet reunification is more than just an operational tactic…it’s a shelter-wide commitment to keeping families together. When organizations build a proactive & “Return-to-Home” culture, every efficient reunion means one less kennel occupied, streamlined shelter
operations, and less stress on shelter staff and lost pets.
Join Adrienne McBride and Guinn McMillion for a candid, facilitated discussion with the team at Harbor Humane Society. We’ll explore why implementing DocuPet’s free registration program was a priority for their organization, how it transformed their reunification efforts, and the tangible benefits it continues to bring to their local community.
In this interactive conversation, you’ll hear directly from shelter leaders on:
● Why Return-to-Home Matters: The operational impact of shifting from traditional intake processes to proactive, community-based reunification.
● Real Implementation Stories: What it actually looks like to launch DocuPet’s free pet registration program and overcome initial transition challenges.
● Community Engagement: How Harbor Humane built stronger trust and participation with local pet owners through accessible pet ID and smart tools.
