Webinar – 4/29/21 – Your End of the Leash Part Two: Breathe! It’s good for you (and your dog!) – Suzanne Clothier (fee applies)

Virtual

Suzanne Clothier Presents (fee applies): This webinar is the second in the Your End of the Leash series, which focuses on helping handlers become the best possible partners for their dogs. No matter how smart your dog may be, no matter how much he knows or can do, he still depends on you as his partner. Would you want a partner who was tense with gritted teeth and tight breathing? Or would you prefer a relaxed partner, whose movements and expression showed enjoyment in working with you? This webinar focuses on the simple but oh-so complicated basic of life itself: breathing.

Webinar – 4/29/21, 5/6/21, and 5/13/21 – Community-Centered Veterinary Care: 3 Part Webinar Series – American Pets Alive!

Virtual

American Pets Alive! Presents: Many animals are surrendered to shelters due to medical issues that families cannot afford. Most communities lack options for low cost, no-cost, or incremental full service medicine due to laws, vet associations, and lack of willing veterinary providers. Join members of the HASS External Facing Medical Care Working Group to reinvent financially based intake for medical cases, and to keep more people and pets together.
