Is achieving a country with No More Homeless Pets possible? You bet it is! Every day, more progress is being made, more lives are being saved. But there is still work to be done, and all of us have a part to play.

Whether you've always wondered what you as an individual could do to achieve a world of No More Homeless Pets, or always wondered what more your rescue group or shelter could do, Best Friends invites you to join us for the much-anticipated return of the No More Homeless Pets National Conference, scheduled for October 24-26, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees will also be able to take a fun and informative trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary immediately after the conference as part of a special group tour.


With a focus on both tried and true lifesaving programs as well as exciting, cutting edge approaches in grassroots animal welfare, this is one event you can't afford to miss!

And this is one instance where what happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas...you'll walk away raring to go, and well-equipped to help homeless pets in your own community.

You'll learn how to:

•	Build membership and raise funds you need
•	Place "unadoptable" animals
•	Work with government to help feral cats
•	Put puppy mills out of business
•	Rally support using the Internet
•	Get along with, ahem, challenging people
•	Develop targeted spay/neuter programs

We'll also provide opportunities and time for you to meet with other devoted individuals and organizations from your region, as well as with many of the most dynamic, inspiring leaders of the animal welfare movement.

Right now, history is being made, and every person who joins the fight brings our shared goal of No More Homeless Pets a little bit closer. We sincerely hope to see you in Las Vegas.
