Webinar – 11/12/25 – Shelter Traffic Jam: Quick Wins to Clear the Way and Keep Animals Moving – UC Davis KSMP

November 12 @ 10:00 AM11:30 AM PST
Free

Re-Scheduled to 11/12 due to Zoom outage

Different shelters, same traffic jam: Too many animals, not enough exits, and teams fighting burnout in the gridlock. Overcrowding compromises care. Stress shoots up and decision-making stalls. But you’re not powerless—whether you’re frontline staff, a volunteer, in a leadership role, or a veterinary professional, you can drive real change. This session will equip you with immediate steps to reduce harm and break up traffic jams today.

With Drs. Kate Hurley and Cindi Delany, you’ll explore balancing intakes and outcomes for better welfare, using daily monitoring and pathway planning to move animals faster, and making tough euthanasia decisions when no safe live outcomes exist.

After this session, you’ll be able to:

  • Understand Capacity for Care basics, your roadmap to getting every animal the right outcome at the right time.
  • Spot warning signs that put animals and staff at risk.
  • Use proven harm-reduction strategies to protect health and well-being.
  • Make confident, humane decisions to guide animal outcomes.
  • Implement quick wins to improve flow, outcomes, and support your team’s morale and mission.

Whether you’re trying to survive another overwhelming week or map your way to more sustainable practices under pressure, this is for you. Because when you’re operating beyond capacity, every decision matters.

Presenters: Dr. Cindi Delany, DVM, KPA-CTP, FFCP and Dr. Kate Hurley, DVM, MPVM, DABVP
