SUMMARY:Online Event - 11/5/24 - All Call: Integrating Social Work Into Shelters - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:Join your colleagues at noon on November 5 for a conversation with veterinary social worker Raquel Bernaldo\, Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) Community Services Manager\, and Deja Johnson\, FAAS Community Services Lead. Submit your questions for Raquel and Deja in advance. \nAbout the presentation: At Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS)\, we are an open-admission shelter and a community resource dedicated to keeping pets and people together. Our presentation will explore FAAS’s Healthy Pets Healthy People programs and our shift from traditional charity models to mutual aid\, where we focus on trust\, community partnerships\, and recognizing pet owners as the experts on their animals. Programs include free pet food\, no-cost vaccines\, the Skyla Fund for veterinary assistance\, spay/neuter vouchers\, microchipping\, and up to 90 days of emergency boarding. \nMutual aid moves beyond charity’s limitations by eliminating conditions like income verification\, fees\, adherence to timeliness\, etc. and focusing on building connection\, trust\, and safety. We’ve redefined volunteer roles\, differentiating between the shelter’s animal care expertise and our department’s role in supporting pet owners. This shift required intentional work to reestablish leadership\, align programs\, and build collaborative partnerships with local businesses\, veterinary clinics\, grooming services\, and social service providers. \nThe presentation will feature a conversational dialogue\, supported by slides\, to illustrate how FAAS has created a sustainable\, humane model for community-based animal welfare. \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 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 - 11/7/24 - Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection: Long Stay Pet Workshop - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:With every shelter stuffed to bursting\, finding fosters and adopters is crucial. For some pets this is simple\, but others are harder to place. In this workshop\, we’ll discuss your favorite long stay pets to identify strategies for marketing them to fosters and adopters. This workshop is not just for foster staff– it’s open to anyone who is interested in marketing pets who are harder to place! \nMake sure to bring information about your own favorite or most challenging long stay. We’ll choose several and work through them together\, discussing what works\, what doesn’t work and some innovative new ways that can get extra attention and help them find the right home. We’ll discuss how we talk about behavioral and health challenges in bios and social media and discuss the optimal ways to be frank about issues while also not deterring potential adopters. We’ll look at different social media channels and how to optimize content about those pets for those channels to get the message across and help these pets put their best paw forward. Be prepared for a fun\, frank and useful webinar with a lot of workshopping and participation! \nGuest Speaker:  Finnegan Dowling\, Shelter Program and Engagement Manager \nFinnegan Dowling is Mutual Rescue’s Shelter Engagement Manager.
