The Center held a one-day workshop on Friday, April 21, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia with Good Mews Animal Foundation. Here are a few examples of the positive feedback we received:

Your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience freely is so appreciated. We are a new(ish) and small (all volunteer) organization and having access to that depth and breadth of wisdom is so helpful.
