SUMMARY:Online Event - 1st and 3rd Tuesdays - All Call: Engaging Latine Community Members - California for All Animals

At the April 2 All Call\, panelists Jessica Lopez (Executive Director\, The PAW Mission)\, Miguel Ruelas (Co-founder\, Patitas y Palabras Translation Services\, and Director of Community Animal Care\, Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity)\, and Suliana Lutin (Managing Attorney\, Lutin Law Group\, and Founder\, Casa Sulis Animal Society\, Inc.) will discuss how we can partner with current and potential Latine pet owners\, community cat caregivers\, fosters\, and volunteers\, to bring and keep more pets and people together and out of shelters. \nJoin the call to solve for barriers\, language and otherwise\, in our own processes that can exclude and harm Latine community members\, including folks who are undocumented. Through this conversation\, we’ll identify the basics of culturally responsive materials and engagement so that we can build from the compassion\, leadership\, and creativity that already exists in our communities! \nSubmit your questions for the panelists in advance. \nAbout the All Call: The All Call is a twice-monthly\, California community call for animal well-being professionals that occurs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community\, programs that keep pets with their people\, industry trends\, research studies\, as well as the hard stuff\, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations\, storytelling\, open discussion\, and Q&A time. \nThe All Call is hosted by California for All co-leaders Allison Cardona and Nadia Oseguera and is enriched by rotating facilitators. You only need to register one time. Calls are sometimes recorded; recap emails with supplemental resources are sent post-call. \nRegister here: https://tinyurl.com/all-call

SUMMARY:Online Event - 1st and 3rd Tuesdays - All Call - Beyond Words: Navigating Accent Discrimination in the Workplace - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:More than one billion people speak English worldwide\, yet no one speaks it exactly the same way. Factors like region\, culture\, and variations among native and non-native speakers contribute to language fluidity and diversity. Yet accent bias and discrimination is universal and often goes unexamined. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious\, it can fuel stereotyping\, judgment\, racism\, and distrust within our teams and communities. At the April 16 All Call\, Dr. Wesley Cheung (Shelter Medicine Resident\, Ontario Veterinary College) will explore this topic with examples from the veterinary and shelter sector. He’ll offer steps we can take to reduce accent biases and build trust so we can accomplish more together. \nThe All Call is a twice-monthly\, California community call for animal well-being professionals that occurs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community\, programs that keep pets with their people\, industry trends\, research studies\, as well as the hard stuff\, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity.

SUMMARY:Online Event - 4/25/24 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: Hyperarousal in Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:This month’s session topic: Hyperarousal in Dogs  \nGuest Speaker:  Dr. Jill Sackman\, Animal Behavior Consultants of Michigan \nHyperarousal behaviors are common in dogs and are often not correctly identified in the non-clinical behavior setting. Dogs with hyperarousal behaviors can be dangerous\, resulting in bruising and bites to family from jumping and grabbing. Injury is often serious enough that many dogs are relinquished. Effective assessment and treatment can result in a majority of dogs being able to stay safely in their adopted home.  This talk will review what is currently known about hyperarousal/ hypersensitivity syndrome in dogs and report on a treatment approach used by the author that has led to significant improvement in behaviors and most of the dogs being able to stay safely in their adopted homes. \nAbout Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection: Join 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
