This calendar is a listing of webinars, other learning opportunities, online meetings and other upcoming national events related to animal sheltering and related areas of interest.
Only some of these events are produced by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program. Most are being created and sponsored by other groups and agencies. Being listed here does not mean that we have reviewed the material contained. We are trying to provide a variety of resources to hopefully help make your life a little easier. For additional information on any of these items before or after the event please contact the organizer directly (listed in the item description).

What did organizations and individuals have to do when the COVID-19 pandemic stroke? PIVOT, we all had to pivot. That is exactly what we did for our annual National Animal Welfare Conference this year. We couldn’t host you in person in Victoria but we look forward to “seeing you” online on May 20 and 21.
Animal Keepers Insurance will lead a discussion to answer our questions and provide guidance to help California shelters mitigate risk. With so many shelter pets now in foster care, who is responsible when the foster dog bites the neighbor? What are best practices in disclosing animal behavior information? What are the most common claims made against shelters? Do you have other questions? Let us know!
As a continuation of the Chameleon Basics webinar, this session will focus on the most common scenarios of animal intakes and outcomes. It will be geared toward beginning users. Because procedures can vary greatly from agency to agency, we intend to keep the webinar simple and pointed, reserving a long period for question and answer at the end of the session for general discussion.
This presentation will take a look at how pets and their owners can get healthier during the pandemic. Physical health and mental health for both pet owners and pets are increasingly strained while observing the stay at home orders. The presentation will discuss the benefits of the human animal bond – on both parties – and discuss strategies for improving health while quarantined.
University of Wisconsin and UC Davis Shelter Medicine Programs Present Shelter Medicine Rounds: We will be more regularly offering National Shelter Medicine Rounds short term to discuss COVID-19 impacts on shelter medicine on Tuesdays from 3-4pm CT (1pmPT/2pmMT/4pmET) and Thursdays from 2-3pm CT (12pmPT/1pmMT/3pmET). You are welcome to email questions or topics you hope to be discussed during rounds in advance to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu and you are always encouraged to come prepared to unmute to ask questions and participate in discussion at any point. I will be sending email reminders of upcoming rounds in advance as well as sharing recordings after the fact.
This group is made up of shelter veterinarians, shelter vet trainees, and upper level shelter leadership. If you know anyone that would like to be added to the national shelter medicine rounds email list to regularly receive scheduling updates and recordings moving forward, please have them email a request to be added to the email group to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu.
