Don't miss out on the premier educational conference for animal care professionals and volunteers-join us April 6-9, 2009, in Las Vegas for Animal Care Expo 2009! Registration will open in Fall 2008.

Animal Care Expo brings together people with a shared purpose: the protection and care of animals. By exchanging ideas, philosophies, and processes, we become better champions for the animals in our communities. When we learn, rejuvenate, and network, we become more effective veterinarians, board members, shelter staff members, animal control officers, humane investigators, feral cat caretakers, volunteers, trainers, and humane educators. This is what Animal Care Expo is all about.
