Online Event – 6/5/25 – Maddie’s Monthly Foster Connection: Homeward Hound – Bringing Home Your New Dog – Maddie’s Fund

June 5 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT

Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection

From environmental changes to grief and loss, Chancel’s presentation explores how emotional readiness, health, and home setup play crucial roles in a successful transition. She’ll challenge the often-cited “3-3-3 rule,” examine how unresolved health conditions can mimic or worsen behavioral problems, and discuss practical tools for managing stress, building trust, and setting dogs up for success. Topics include behavior management, crate/confinement training, enrichment, multi-dog dynamics, and what to expect emotionally during the early days of fostering or adopting.

Guest Speaker: Chancel Siebuhr, Animal Care & Behavior Manager, PAWS of Coronado
