Videos by Fear Free Shelters. Founded upon the mission to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety & stress in pets, the Fear Free Shelter Program helps improve the experiences of animals by educating shelter, rescue, and animal welfare employees and volunteers about their emotional needs.
At Fear Free, we believe every animal deserves care that prioritizes their emotional and physical wellbeing—especially in shelters and rescues. By reducing fear, anxiety, stress (FAS), we help create calmer, more positive experiences for the animals in your care.
As you’ll see in this video, Fear Free is more than just an approach—it’s a transformative way to support the physical and emotional needs of animals while empowering the dedicated staff and volunteers who care for them.
Join us in making a difference. Visit us at fearfreeshelters.com to access free training and resources designed to help you reduce stress and improve enrichment opportunities for shelter animals.
