SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/9/25 - Maddie’s Insights: Benefits of Pair-Housing Dogs on Welfare Measures and Length of Stay - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Dogs are often housed alone in shelter settings to reduce injury and disease spread. However\, social isolation can be a stressor for dogs. Most prior studies have focused on laboratory dogs or shelter dogs that have been kenneled for several months. Thus\, those results might not necessarily generalize to shelter dogs\, many of which have shorter lengths of stay than those dogs studied to date and might be cohoused soon after intake. \nDr. Feuerbacher and her team investigated the behavioral and physiological effects of single- or pair-housing shelter dogs\, most of which had recently entered the shelter\, as well as the impact of pair-housing on length of stay. In this talk\, Dr. Feuerbacher will review the literature on cohousing dogs\, go into detail on her study methods and results\, and discuss the benefits and practical considerations of pair-housing dogs. \nAttendees will learn to:\n1. Identify behavioral and physiological benefits of pair housing\n2. Identify adoption benefits of pair housing\n3. Understand the requirements to consider using pair housing safely \nRegister here https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording after the webcast. \nGuest Speaker: Dr. Erica Feuerbacher\, Associate Professor\, School of Animal Sciences\, Virginia Tech and Director\, Applied Behavior & Welfare Lab \nEngage with our guest speaker on Maddie’s Pet Forum: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcast01092025 \nWEBSITE LINK: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister
