Essential Rabbit Training for ACOs and Shelter Staff

This webinar offers a detailed introduction to the philosophy, and best practices of the San Diego House Rabbit Society (SDHRS), with a focus on practical strategies for shelter staff, field ACOs, and adoption counselors who interact with rabbits in their roles.
Led by SDHRS Executive Director Jennifer Lee, the session will walk through key components of our shelter model, the unique care needs of domestic rabbits, and the core educational framework we use to support adopters and animal welfare professionals.

Key topics include:
• Shelter layout and intake protocols at SDHRS
• Rabbit behavior, communication, and humane handling
• Standards for housing, daily care, and enrichment
• Medical red flags, illness response protocols, and wellness indicators
• Nutrition, litter box training, and sanitation practices
• Public health and disease prevention, including RHDV2 protocols
• Adoption readiness and what SDHRS requires from potential adopters

Who should attend:
Shelter employees, adoption counselors, animal control officers, and anyone involved in the intake, care, or placement of rabbits in shelter or rescue environments.
This webinar is designed to give professionals in the field practical, replicable insights that elevate rabbit welfare and improve outcomes across the board.

This webinar has been generously sponsored by We Mail For You for your printing, direct mail, and promotional item needs.
