Today Cindie is joined by Katera Berent, Communications and Events Manager at Austin Pets Alive! One of the undisputed leaders in the no-kill animal shelter movement in the U.S., the Austin Pets Alive! shelter in Texas is a model for what a modern animal shelter should look like.

They started their path by targeting animals on the euthanasia lists of other local shelters and establishing data and statistics based on them and the countless animals that Austin Pets Alive! had saved. The end result is clear – one of the best animal shelters in the country.

Cindie will teach us all the importance of understanding your dog and learning to communicate. In any off-leash playgroup, there are pet parents who think their pup is having a great time – even if the dog is "saying" something different. To ensure all dogs in your playgroup are safe and having fun, share this checklist with pet parents who don't know if off-leash play is right for their pup.
