This 4 session VIRTUAL workshop designed for all levels of shelter staff will cover advice to resolve common dog and cat behavior problems to prevent…
NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Present: So you have begun to manage your intake procedures, this may mean scheduled owner surrender hours or limited days of intake, not it’s time to take a step back and assess how the program is working. This session will help to guide you through a program analysis of your managed intake program and provide some suggestions for the next steps and ways that other agencies have taken a basic program and moved it to the next level!
The AAWA Presents: Barriers to community engagement isn’t a new challenge for animal services, but a global pandemic and social unrest bring added burden to these essential employees. Hear from four animal services leaders guiding their cities through a difficult climate: Dallas, Greensboro (NC), and Los Angeles. This exclusive roundtable conversation will explore the challenges animal support service professionals are currently facing with a special emphasis on BIPOC officers and staff. Learn from their experience so you can engage your community in conversations of equity and justice and provide support with kindness and fairness. Questions from the audience will follow the roundtable discussion.
Best Friends Presents: As we navigate the change to impounding only high-priority intakes, Animal Control Officers come across field cases where impounding an animal is necessary. But, there are also cases where providing the owner with resources keeps the pet at home and out of the shelter. Join us for this town hall where Best Friends Director of National Municipal and Shelter Support (and NACA president) Scott Giacoppo, helps you define cruelty vs. resource deprivation to establish your own organizational guidelines for when to provide resources vs. impound an animal.
FDSA Presents (fee applies): Let’s face it—many of us have more than one dog. We enjoy our dogs so much, yet they don’t always enjoy each other. Just witnessing a physical altercation between dogs can be traumatic. Why does this happen? Do the dogs simply dislike each other? Or is there more to it than that? Accurate assessment is not always easy but it is essential. This webinar will teach you tips that will help you evaluate the relationship between your own dogs. Once the reason for conflict is clear, a personalized treatment and management plan can be designed.
