Karen Pryor Academy Presents: On the Live From The Ranch, Kiki Yablon will join Ken Ramirez to discuss a new approach to loose-leash walking. Rather than just walking by your side, in this method, a dog and a person move through space together, almost like they were off-leash, interacting with each other and the world in ways both parties find enriching.
Maddie’s Fund Presents: By embracing pet-inclusive policies, we can help families stay together and create neighborhoods where pets are valued as part of the family. At the end of this free half-day event, presenters will share a collection of resources to help you apply what you learn in your own organization and community. Come make new friends and help make housing accessible to all members of the family!
Dogs Playing for Life Presents: Learn about all the ways in which DPFL Playgroups are transforming shelters all across the country! This webinar (formerly offered in three parts) will cover the Why, the What, and the How of playgroups. Attendees will be introduced to dynamic video examples and impactful data and experiences from some of the over 350 shelters who have embraced the power of letting shelter dogs play!
ASPCA and The AAWA Present: Join us virtually on Wednesday, October 30, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET for a dynamic gathering of animal welfare professionals and researchers. Together, we will explore cutting-edge research that has the power to transform the lives of animals and further support your lifesaving efforts.
Maddie’s Fund Presents: Behavioral euthanasia is a sensitive topic with a wide variety of personal thoughts and emotions. But what do we actually know about it? How often does it happen, and why? Do we have data we can use to make decisions? Where can we turn for information? This talk will walk you through the existing (and pending!) research on behavioral euthanasia to help us separate fact from fiction. There will be time for your questions.
California for All Animals Presents: Register for Part 2 of our conversation on addressing gaps in Emotional Support Animal (ESA) documentation and protection for vulnerable communities! HEART LA’s Zaira Bernal (Paralegal) and Diana Cruz (Program Director/Law Clerk) will return to the All Call on October 1 for a conversation on addressing landlord resistance to ESA protections. What do you need to know to advance disability justice and help people and pets at risk of eviction stay together in your community? Submit your questions for the presenters.
