Ever wonder how implicit bias can influence pet adoption processes? And, if so, what we can do to improve? Join us for the next Maddie’s^® Insights on December 11, as we share insights from a nationwide survey of 484 U.S. shelters and rescue organizations on adoption events and screening practices. Our guest, Dr. Lexis Ly, presents results from her study that includes how these processes work, how implicit bias can influence decisions, and how small procedural changes can speed-up and level-up the path to great pet-people matches. You’ll come away with fresh insights and practical ideas to help reduce barriers and strengthen your organization’s adoption success.

“The Exploration of Opportunities for Barriers and Bias During Off Site Animal Adoption Events” webcast will take place Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 12OM PT / 3PM ET. It will be recorded, so be sure to register even if you can’t make the live meeting.
