Welcome to our Shelter Industry Events Calendar! Here, you’ll find a variety of webinars, learning opportunities, online meetings, and national events focused on animal sheltering and related interests. While some events are hosted by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, most are organized by other groups and agencies. Please note that being listed here doesn’t mean we’ve reviewed the material.
We’re here to provide you with a range of resources to help make your life easier. For more details about any event, feel free to contact the organizer directly (you’ll find their info in the event description).

Intake is up, but so is innovation and positive disruption. In this series of four dynamic roundtable conversations, frontline workers leading change across California and the country will highlight collaborative approaches to removing barriers that come between people and pets and dish on creative solutions they’re implementing to ensure pets spend more nights at home, not in the shelter.
Pull up a seat and bring your questions for our panelists to discuss around the table on August 17, 24, 31 and September 7 from 9-10 a.m. PDT. Register for the series to attend live or access on-demand after each event, and visit www.californiaforallanimals.com/together to learn more about funding and resources available to California shelters working to keep and bring more #PetsAndPeopleTogether / #MascotasYPersonasJuntas.
August 24: Stronger Together: Honoring Community Wisdom with Authentic Engagement
What does it mean to be truly inclusive? To recognize community wisdom and strengths in order to build our collective capacity to keep and bring more pets and people together? Community is critical to our mission, and if we want to partner with community members and encourage collaboration through adoption, fostering, volunteering, and more, we must create an environment where people feel welcomed, heard and respected.
In this roundtable, we’re getting back to the basics of community engagement. Four organizations will discuss high-impact initiatives, from culturally competent translations to programming grounded in mutual respect and appreciation for the diversity of the human-animal bond.
