Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

California for All Animals Presents: After nearly four years and 71 calls, we hope you’ll be a part of our final All Call conversation on the intersection of shelter medicine and community outreach! Shelter Outreach Veterinary Assistant Ehani Hunter will share her journey from San Diego Humane Society’s shelter medicine team to their traveling HQHVSN clinic. Whether you’re curious about community-based veterinary work or exploring different pathways in shelter medicine, this conversation will offer inspiration for how vet professionals can adapt and grow within the field.

Maddie’s Fund Presents: Foster insights are invaluable to shelters & rescues, and no concern should ever be dismissed or taken more lightly than the foster presents it. At the same time, that initial presentation of a concern tends to only offer one perspective: the human’s. Zan Lowell’s presentation will walk through example cases of their tried and true process of taking an analytical approach that simultaneously gets to the root causes of an animal’s concerning or unwanted behaviors and promotes a more nuanced understanding of those animals’ needs among fosters, all without sacrificing compassion for either.
