Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

AmPa! Presents: The AmPA! weekly Maddie’s Instructor Summit offers shelters and rescues a chance to talk through the most current animal sheltering challenges! Topics will change each week. You’ll join AmPA! and HASS Staff and industry leaders, but, more importantly, you’ll be able to engage face to face (digitally!) with people like you. Because not feeling alone makes this work a lot easier.

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 surrender, a behavior perspective on intake and adoptions, canine behavior evaluations and decisions-making, and behavior modification in the shelter. Each session is 90 minutes, from 11am to 12:30pm Pacific Time […]
