Connect with your California colleagues—only two All Calls left!
Central Valley animal welfare organizations and pet owners are meeting shared veterinary challenges with innovation and collaboration to make sure animals get the care they need. Fresno Animal Center Director Alma Torres and her team have built powerful local and regional partnerships—and they’re seeing real results.
At the October 7 All Call, Alma and colleagues Candace Krider, DVM, (Medical Director, Fresno Animal Center) and Samantha Yang (Division Manager, City of Fresno) will walk us through key strategies that have helped the shelter and community navigate difficult times and keep moving forward.
You’ll learn how they’ve:
- Established a medical clinic and coordinated with partner organizations to expand spay/neuter access
- Launched new community programs to provide free microchips, vaccines, and pet food
- And reduced barriers through initiatives like fee-waived reclaims and free adoptions to keep and bring more pets and people together.
Bring your questions to the conversation and leave with lessons you can adapt for your own shelter. Register for the All Call.
The All Call is a California community call for animal well-being professionals. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community, programs that keep pets with their people, industry trends, research studies, as well as the hard stuff, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations, storytelling, open discussion, and Q&A time.
The All Call is hosted by Nadia Oseguera-Ramón and Ivy Ruiz. You only need to register one time. Calls are sometimes recorded; recap emails with supplemental resources are sent post-call. Find past call resources and recordings, including the recent Multicultural Engagement Community of Practice series, at the Cal for All Animals website.
