Through Humane World’s Wild Neighbors program, we work with animal care and control partners to incorporate wildlife into their mission of animal protection. Animal control facilities are increasingly tasked with responding to wildlife issues in their community, but standard operating procedures often stand in the way of achieving humane outcomes for wildlife.

Learning how to identify individual animals that herd together or are part of a group requires a working knowledge of species-specific characteristics that can be used to distinguish individuals from one another. This is especially so for species such as burros, for which a comprehensive framework for identifying individual animals is not available.

Recorded webinar

Adopters Welcome webinar series | Part 1

In the first webinar of the series, learn what Adopters Welcome is and what it isn’t, how it can help build community engagement while helping more animals. Whether your shelter or rescue has already embraced Adopters Welcome or you’re new to the conversation, there’s something here for everyone.

Adopters Welcome webinar series | Part 2

Adopters Welcome webinar series | Part 3

In this webinar, we’ll dive into the barriers that may exist for potential adopters. By using data, we can create an inclusive and barrier-free adoption experience that streamlines the process for staff and the community.

Adopters Welcome webinar series | Part 4
