SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/5/21 - Canine Welfare: How Do We Measure It and What Can We Learn Using These Measures in the Animal Shelter? - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Considerable efforts have been made to improve the outcomes for dogs arriving to animal shelters\, resulting in substantial increases in the number of dogs adopted and returned to their owners as well as reductions in euthanasia. Over this time\, the role of the animal shelter has changed as well\, from one of temporary holding to longer lengths of stay as animals with more complex behavioral and medical needs are placed. Thus\, we must also evolve the care that we provide to these dogs to adequately meet their welfare needs. \nThis session will discuss how we can best assess welfare and promising measures found across the scientific literature that can help us better understand dogs’ experiences in the shelter. With these measures in mind\, the presenter will describe recent research investigating the effects of housing and social interaction on shelter dog welfare. By identifying meaningful welfare measures\, interventions intended to improve the lives of shelter-living dogs can be tested and\, when impactful\, implemented in animal shelters. \n\nIdentify stressors in the shelter environment that may compromise canine welfare.\nDescribe the difficulties inherent in measuring welfare.\nExplain the different physiological\, cognitive\, behavioral\, and health measures that can be used to measure canine welfare in the shelter.\nSummarize how housing and interactions with other dogs may affect shelter dog welfare.\nDevelop a plan about how you could measure the welfare of dogs in your animal shelter.\n\nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA (pending) \nAbout Your Presenter \n\nLisa Gunter Ph.D MA CBCC-KA is the Maddie’s Fund Research Fellow at Arizona State University in the Department of Psychology and conducts her research in the Canine Science Collaboratory. She currently leads the Maddie’s Fund Nationwide Fostering Study. The goal of Dr. Gunter’s research is to better the lives of dogs and\, to this aim\, she has investigated the breed labeling of shelter dogs\, their breed heritage\, post-adoption interventions focused on owner retention\, various types of fostering\, enrichment\, and behavioral indicators of welfare for kenneled dogs. She has published her research in scientific journals\, presented her findings at numerous conferences\, and received national and international media attention for her work. \nPrior to her graduate school\, she worked as a behavior consultant and trainer in San Francisco where she taught group classes and consulted with owners experiencing issues of fear\, anxiety\, and aggression with their dogs. Her interest in canine behavior began in 2002 as an animal shelter volunteer\, training dogs in basic skills and assisting in shelter dog playgroups. That interest grew into a career where she managed the behavior programs of several shelters throughout the West. During graduate school\, Dr. Gunter co-founded Wagfield Academy\, an online dog training and behavior resource for owners\, and the Institute for Shelter Dogs with Dr. Erica Feuerbacher\, where they combine the latest in shelter research with the current best practices in workshops and consultations for staff and volunteers. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4361915

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/8/21 - Building and Maintaining a Productive High Volume Foster Program That Serves the Animals YOU Need Help With - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Foster programs are a necessity in any animal shelter or rescue but creating and maintaining one that provides consistent positive output can be a challenge.  Foster homes reduce in-shelter population\, reduce stress on staff and animals\, and provide much needed real-life information about adoptable animals.  The challenge is creating a foster base that will consistently help with the animals your shelter needs help with; the medically challenged and/or behaviorally challenged population. What you will learn: \n\nHow to break down your foster program and rebuild it for success\nThe benefits of opening your foster program up to include all adoptable animals in your shelter and why that variety will help you sustain your program\nHow to streamline communication with foster parents\n\nOther Webinars in this Series Include: \n\nDec 10: Recruiting the Next Generation to Your Agency\nApril 8: Staycations and Daycations – Building Short Term Foster Programs\nJuly 8: Building and Maintaining a Productive\, High Volume Fostering Program\nJuly 22: The Care\, Nurturing and Enrichment of Tame & Feral Volunteers\n\nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \n  \n\n  \n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n\nPresenters: \nAmy Yeager has been with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control for 16 years and currently serves as the Foster/Rescue Coordinator.  She manages a high volume\, year-round foster program as well as works with local rescue partners to transport animals in and transport animals out.   During her career\, she has also served as a Kennel Attendant\, Field Enforcement Officer\, and Customer Service Representative so she brings a wealth of working knowledge to the Foster/Rescue programs.  Amy has experience in completely breaking down and rebuilding foster programs to better fit the a \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/building-and-maintaining-a-productive-high-volume-foster-program-that-serves-the-animals-you-need-help-with/
