Event Navigation

We know shelters can be a stressful place for animals. And, even the best non-shelter veterinary clinic causes most happily owned pets fear, anxiety and stress. When you combine the two – a veterinary clinic setting in a shelter – the chance animals receiving needed medical care will be under significant stress skyrockets.

Being able to identify signs of fear, anxiety and stress in the animals in our care and do everything we can to decrease the negative impact of these emotions on the animals will keep them healthier and happier while they are with us. It will also help them find their forever homes sooner.

Employing Fear Free techniques will also keep the animals and our staff safer, make our own jobs easier and less stressful and enable us to provide better care.
In this session we’ll discuss how to recognize concerns in animals and give you strategies, techniques and tools to improve the emotional well-being of animals in shelters and particularly in the shelter clinic. We’ll discuss basic care, medical restraint and handling and adjunctive tools and therapies to consider following the Fear Free model.
We’ll also give you a preview of the free on-line certificate program – The Fear Free Shelter Program – that you and other shelter staff members can take now to learn more about this topic.
