SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/7/25 - Helping Animals Faster: Using Innovation to Reduce Length of Stay and Save More Lives - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Pasco County Animal Services was saving over 85% of animals coming to the shelter but could not break through to saving more than 90%. This innovative leadership team took on the challenge and completely changed their live outcome model to include new\, progressive ways for animals to enter and leave alive. As a result\, the length of stay for animals in the shelter went from 28.5 days all the way to 3.1 days and the shelter has been above a 90% save rate since 2019. \nIn this session\, Assistant Director Spencer Conover will provide real-life challenges the organization was facing as well as tangible tools\, tactics\, and resources shelters can use to help lower length of stay\, better optimize budgets\, and increase the save rate in their organization without additional funding or staff. This interactive and engaging presentation will focus on streamlining intake procedures\, recruiting and retaining rescue partnerships\, fast-tracking animals through your shelter\, prioritizing budget areas that will have the largest impact on your saving rate\, and bringing the team together to focus on a common goal. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/helping-animal-faster-using-innovation-to-reduce-length-of-stay-and-save-more-lives/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/19/25 - Bridging the Gap: Establishing Relationships Between Social Services and Animal Welfare - BestyBnB
DESCRIPTION:Pets can create a barrier to social services. Whether that is a survivor seeking help for domestic violence\, people who are experiencing homelessness needing shelter\, or those facing a mental health crisis.

This presentation will give an overview of the special bond trauma survivors share with their pets and the unique challenges they may face when seeking services\, tips for pet advocacy that you can provide to your community\, and how BestyBnB helps to bridge the gap between animal welfare and social services. \nIn this session\, you will learn: \n\nThe important bond between trauma survivors and their pets and the unique challenges they face when seeking services.\nTips for implementing pet advocacy in your community.\nHow BestyBnB works to bridge the gap in services between social services and animal welfare.\n\nWho should attend? \n\nAnimal welfare managers and staff\nMental health program managers and staff\nDomestic violence program managers and staff\nVictim advocates\nSocial service providers working with survivors\n\nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.mybestybnb.com/trainings/bridging-the-gap
