Subject: National Shelter Medicine Rounds Thursday and recording
Hi all,
This Thursday 6/11 2-3pm CST, Amanda Arrington and Ashley Anderson-Mutch from Pets for Life will be joining us for a discussion about building foundational values as animal welfare organizations that positively support our communities and dismantle structural inequities and punishment based responses that many pet owners experience. We’ll also be looking at the parallels between policing and animal welfare organizations and how recognizing those connections can help us find new pathways to support people and their pets. Amanda is the director of Pets for Life and Ashley is the policy and enforcement reform manager for Pets for Life and a former humane law enforcement officer in PA.
If you have the time we’d encourage you to listen to this podcast on the history of American policing. If you don’t have the time to listen before rounds don’t worry one bit, there will still be plenty of value to these discussions without having heard this podcast.

Here is the recording from today’s rounds: Anti-racism in your organization discussion
Discussion to share your ideas, commitments, and programs you have or are putting in place to work towards anti-racism in your organization. UW/UCD Shelter Medicine Programs just shared our commitments and you can find them here.
There were also a lot of great resources shared in the chat. At all times at the box link below my signature you can access recordings, various resources shared and a document where I save the links shared in the chat from each rounds. I’ve attached the document of the links shared in the chat here for easy access today.
Thank you for so many of you joining us for these engaging discussions!

You are welcome to email questions or topics you hope to be discussed during rounds in advance to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu and you are always encouraged to come prepared to unmute to ask questions and participate in discussion at any point. I will be sending email reminders of upcoming rounds in advance.

Recordings will not be available during COVID-19 discussions but can be accessed from previous regular rounds and will again be available once we return to the usual format.
