Through research, collaboration, and training, Candid connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to do it.

Fear Free
 

Fear Free has become one of the single most transformative initiatives in the history of companion animal practice, providing unparalleled education on emotional wellbeing, enrichment, and the reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress in pets and improving the experience of every human and pet involved.

​

Designed by leading experts in shelter medicine and animal behavior, the program helps animal shelters create a Fear Free experience for pets from intake to adoption and beyond. It also provides resources adopters and foster homes can use to promote the emotional wellbeing of the pets in their care and ease the transition to a new environment.

​​

All of Pets Lifeline's staff and volunteers undertake a training course to become Fear Free Certified.
