January 11, 2023 Meeting
Cara Achterberg will be making a tour of NC shelters in January. She has been doing this for the past 5 years to show people the tragedy of unwanted dog (and cats) in the South. Her visit to Moore County will coincide with our January 11th meeting. She will give us a brief talk on what she has been doing to “get the word out” about this terrible crisis.
Member Ellen Pfann talks about how to teach Positive Markers to reinforce Focus.
