SUMMARY:Online Event - 4/23/26 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: The Cypress Protocol - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:When reactive dogs are confronted with their triggers at every turn in the shelter setting\, how do we make progress? This presentation will go over a special shelter dog\, Cypress\, and the multifaceted approach his shelter team took to help him overcome his reactivity and find his way into a home. From finding ways to control his environment\, to playgroups\, to training volunteers to continue working with him\, his team pulled out every tool in their box to teach him how to cope in the shelter setting—and eventually in his new home. His case created what his shelter now calls the “Cypress Protocol” and has helped many dogs in the shelter setting succeed. \nGuest Speaker: Lindsay Echito and Marie Lombardo\, Orphans of the Storm \nJoin us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month\, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group\, such as behavior medications\, modifying animal behavior\, assessing and improving animal welfare\, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats. \nWho should join: Animal welfare staff and volunteers who are interested in dog and cat behavior\, and everyone who works to keep pets out of shelters and in homes. \nYou only need to register once for all meetings: https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \nAll recordings and resources shared during the webcast will also be available in the Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection group on Maddie’s Pet Forum – https://maddies.fund/monthlybehaviorconnectionMPF \nMaddie’s Fund does not share registration information. \nThe opinions expressed by webinar presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Maddie’s Fund. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration

SUMMARY:Online Event - Monthly - Journey You Own Meditation Gathering - JYO
DESCRIPTION:Create a shared\, supportive space to explore grounding practices. \nThe guided meditations happen every month and typically run 30-45 minutes.

She was raised by parents who practice meditation and lead spiritual teachings for members of their Indian community. She began pursuing her own formal exploration of spirituality as an anthropology major at Princeton University and conducted fieldwork for her thesis while living at an ashram (spiritual center) in India in 1996. As a veterinarian\, she is interested in highlighting the spiritual connection between all living beings. \nJyothi has completed certifications in trauma-sensitive mindfulness\, advanced trauma-sensitive meditation\, deep listening\, DEI\, and since 2019\, has been receiving training in Buddhist meditation practices and philosophy. As a student learning meditation\, she is interested in exploring these practices with others in community. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://jyo.world/meditation-gathering/
