SUMMARY:Online Event - 7/25/24 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: Managing Separation Anxiety in Shelter Dogs - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 25 for Managing Separation Anxiety in Shelter Dogs with Dr. Valerie Tynes of the SPCA of Texas (12n Pacific / 3pm Eastern for one hour) \nSeparation-related problems result in extreme mental suffering in affected dogs and negatively impact the quality of life of their owners as well. With time\, these types of problems can severely damage and eventually destroy even the strongest of human animal bonds. Helping pet owners to understand that affected dogs are not “acting out” and that they don’t just need “more structure” or “more exercise” is imperative if we are going to solve these problems. This presentation will review the most common clinical signs of separation anxiety\, some of the “red flags” in a dog’s history that suggest it may have a separation-related problem and how to accurately identify the problem. Some practical approaches to treatment will also be presented. Can’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \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 - 9/17/24 - All Call - From Policy to Practice: Addressing Gaps in Emotional Support Animal Documentation for Vulnerable Communities - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:Submit your housing-related questions for the 9/16 All Call presenters! HEART LA’s Zaira Bernal (Paralegal) and Diana Cruz (Program Director/Law Clerk) will explore common challenges individuals with disabilities face when seeking the required documentation for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs)\, focusing on the limitations of current policy and real-world hurdles. \nAbout the presentation: The call will begin with a brief overview of the Fair Housing Act (FHA)\, highlighting its protections and requirements for individuals who rely on ESAs to mitigate their disabilities. The core of the presentation delves into three case studies illustrating common obstacles\, including medical professionals’ reluctance due to liability concerns\, and the systemic lack of healthcare resources available to low-income and marginalized communities. The discussion will emphasize the sources of resistance\, such as misinformation about ESA roles and barriers in healthcare access. \nThe presentation concludes by offering practical solutions HEART LA has implemented to address these challenges. These include facilitating self-certification for individuals receiving disability benefits in California\, partnering with organizations to connect clients with healthcare providers\, directly engaging with cautious medical professionals to educate and alleviate concerns\, and training caseworkers and other qualified third parties on how to issue ESA documentation. Through this comprehensive approach\, the organization aims to expand access to housing for those who need ESAs\, creating a path for legal protections to be applied effectively in practice. \nSave the date for Part 2 of our conversation with Zaira and Diana! Zaira and Diana will return to the All Call on October 1 for a conversation on addressing landlord resistance to ESA protections. What do you need to know to advance disability justice and help people and pets at risk of eviction stay together in your community? Submit your questions for the presenters. \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.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 9/17/24 - Collaborative Cat Management Programs - LG\, SG\, NFP and Landcare Working Together - Getting 2 Zero
DESCRIPTION:The Keeping Cats Safe at Home project is a four-year behavioural change project being run by RSPCA NSW in conjunction with eleven Councils across NSW\, including Weddin Shire. It is funded by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust. The project aims to reduce the impact pet cats have on wildlife and improve domestic cats’ health and safety by encouraging responsible cat ownership. Weddin Landcare worked with the local Council Ranger to apply for the program to help instigate cat management programs in the Weddin Shire. The project began with community consultation\, which guided project activities for the Shire. Together\, Weddin Shire Council\, Weddin Landcare and RSPCA NSW then implemented a free desexing and microchipping program; distributed project messages though communication materials and promotions; delivered educational sessions to local primary schools about the benefits of keeping cats at home; and offered an incentive program for backyard Catnets enclosures to assist cat owners to contain their cat to their property. \nThe program has been incredibly successful for our small community (population <4\,000) with over 300 cats desexed to date\, 30 Catnets enclosures distributed to local residents\, over 100 primary school children and a significant drop in the number of complaints about cats and unwanted litters being impounded. This incredibly positive project has resulted in a unique partnership between the organisations involved and improved relationships between the local Council Ranger and local residents. \nThis event will be recorded and the recording will be available the day after the event. \nPresenter: Melanie Cooper – Landcare Coordinator\, Weddin landcare\nMelanie Cooper a part-time Local Landcare Coordinator for Weddin Landcare\, based in Grenfell\, Central West NSW. With a B. Applied Science (Earth and Land Science)\, Melanie has been working in the natural resource management realm with rural communities for over twenty years through a variety of technical and community-based roles in both the public and private sector. She is also a farmer\, managing a 4\,000Ha mixed-farming property with her husband and is a mum to two little girls. \nMelanie has been working with Weddin Landcare for the past 4 years and is passionate about working with rural communities\, schools and farmers at a grassroots level to restore ecosystem function and biodiversity and improve the health of our natural assets and agricultural products. \nRegister here – https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aj7TbvN0TyqBTo4aAO3wtg

SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/1/24 - All Call: Power and Pushback: Addressing Landlord Resistance to Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Protections - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:Register for Part 2 of our conversation on addressing gaps in Emotional Support Animal (ESA) documentation and protection for vulnerable communities!  \nHEART LA’s Zaira Bernal (Paralegal) and Diana Cruz (Program Director/Law Clerk) will return to the All Call on October 1 for a conversation on addressing landlord resistance to ESA protections. What do you need to know to advance disability justice and help people and pets at risk of eviction stay together in your community? Submit your questions for the presenters. \nAbout the 10/1 Call: \nIn this follow-up presentation\, we shift the focus from individual barriers to the systemic challenges presented by landlords\, particularly small property owners\, in ensuring the legal protections afforded to tenants with Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). Despite clear state and federal laws\, landlords often disregard these protections\, leading to ongoing harassment\, pushback\, and\, in some cases\, the denial of rightful accommodations for individuals with disabilities. This presentation will explore how tenants frequently report resistance from landlords even after informing them of their rights\, highlighting the critical role larger organizations play in advocating on their behalf. \nThe presentation will conclude by offering strategies for intervention that our organization has found effective. These include drafting reasonable accommodation requests on behalf of our clients\, involving governmental agencies like the Los Angeles Housing Department and the California Department of Disabilities\, and partnering with animal welfare organizations to identify solutions that benefit all parties. By acknowledging landlords as actors in the housing ecosystem and uplifting tenant power\, this presentation aims to foster a more equitable approach to ESA-related housing issues\, ensuring that legal protections are upheld for vulnerable individuals in our community. \nWatch the Part 1 recording. At the 9/17 All Call\, Zaira and Diana explored common challenges individuals with disabilities face when seeking the required documentation for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs)\, focusing on the limitations of current policy and real-world hurdles. They also offered practical solutions HEART LA has implemented to address these challenges. These include facilitating self-certification for individuals receiving disability benefits in California\, partnering with organizations to connect clients with healthcare providers\, directly engaging with cautious medical professionals to educate and alleviate concerns\, and training caseworkers and other qualified third parties on how to issue ESA documentation. \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. The call is a mix of presentations\, storytelling\, open discussion\, and Q&A time. \nThe All Call is hosted by California for All team members Allison Cardona\, Nadia Oseguera\, and Ivy Ruiz\, 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 - 10/15/24 - All Call: Big Dog Solutions for Big Dog Populations - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next All Call on October 15! Director of Placement Izzy Nidetz will share Pasadena Humane’s approach to their large dog placement programs. \nAbout the Presentation: \nLarge dogs often face significant challenges in finding homes\, leading to longer stays in shelters and increased pressure on kennel space. To address this\, we must explore innovative strategies that set both dogs and people up for success. How can we foster greater community involvement and encourage potential adopters to give big dogs a chance? \nWe will explore proven solutions for getting large dogs into foster and adoptive homes through creative\, results-driven programs. Topics will include Pasadena Humane’s Adoption Trial Program\, Field Trip and Sleepover Programs\, and unique events that have successfully engaged the public. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for implementing or enhancing similar programs to improve outcomes for large dogs in their own communities. \nThe All Call is a twice-monthly\, California community call for animal well-being professionals that occurs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday.
