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). Know of any event that we are missing that you think should be shown here? EMAIL US at events@sheltermedportal.com
Creating more efficient flows with noses in and noses out doesn’t have to be complicated or resource intensive. With a few focused practices, you can reduce length of stay, avoid bottlenecks, and get more pets home faster. Pathway planning is a practical, proactive approach to managing your population, and it can work no matter your organization’s size, staffing, or resource level.
Attendees will learn how to define common outcome paths, identify critical flow-through points, and kickstart daily rounds without feeling overwhelmed. With practical, real-world tools and examples, you’ll walk away with the confidence to take your first (or next) step toward more efficient, targeted lifesaving.
Learn from three experienced panelists: Brent Toellner, Senior Director Lifesaving Programs, Best Friends Animal Society; Dr. Colleen Guilfoyle, National Shelter Medicine Veterinarian, Best Friends Animal Society; and Faith Wright, Director of Operations at Brandywine Valley SPCA.
No matter your resources and staff, you can use what you have to star t reducing length of stay, improving kennel stress, and achieving better outcomes for the pets in your care. Register now and join us live on Thursday, July 10 at 3pm ET.
