Anderson Animal Shelter Offers Free “Fear-Free” Animal Behavior Program for Pet Owners

Why should you become “Fear Free” certified?

A message from Brittany, Anderson Humanes Animal Behavior Program Manager

You can’t know what you don’t know. Understanding dog and cat behavior is like learning another language. Inadvertently, we may be causing more fear, anxiety, or stress in our interactions with shelter animals. This course will broaden your understanding of animal behavior and will challenge you to think from the perspective of the animal. This will help improve our interactions with the animals and therefore support their physical, mental, and emotional needs. Fear Free was founded on the science of animal behavior and backed by leading experts in the field. Every staff member at Anderson Humane is fear-free shelter certified, and we dream that our volunteers and fosters will be too!

We invite you to join us in completing this invaluable FREE training, which plays a significant role in ensuring that every animal’s stay with us is the absolute best it can be until they find their Fur-ever home!

Get started TODAY!

We are encouraging you to take the challenge and become “Fear Free” certified. This will empower you to understand and help the animals you shower with love!
