LEADing Conversations 2026

Overview:

Explore why proactive lost pet recovery matters – not just for animals and families, but for the entire sheltering system. This session will highlight the broader impact of strong RTO practices on shelters and the animals they serve. Using data from PawBoost’s free community platform, we’ll examine real-world trends in reunification, show how technology can reduce shelter intakes by up to 25%, and share low-effort strategies that field and shelter teams can implement to improve return-to-owner rates.

Keypoints:

• Why return-to-owner efforts are critical for shelters and field teams 
• Overview of PawBoost’s tools for the public 
• Overview of PawBoost’s free shelter partnership program 
• Data insights: Reunited rates by status (Lost vs. Found), species, and time-to-reunite 
• Actionable, low-effort tips to boost RTO in your community
