Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

The AAWA Presents: When we feel that a core part of our values or our identity is threatened, our instinct is often to contract, to seek what feels comfortable, predictable, and safe. Yet it is precisely in these times when we need to expand, to venture beyond the assumed safety of our comfort zones and echo chambers. We will explore 3 practices for expansion and how to broaden and diversify our social networks to make better decisions for our organizations.

PPG Presents (fee applies): The shelter can be a scary place for dogs and cats but it doesn’t have to be.

CalAnimals Presents: In this webinar, you will learn how your organization can work with GoodPup to offer convenient, affordable, positive-reinforcement dog training in your community. You will also find out how you can utilize GoodPup’s innovative technology to track training completion rates of dogs getting adopted from your facility.

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: In animal cruelty cases, the animal’s body—whether dead or alive—is a crime scene. Many law enforcement professionals have not been trained to properly preserve and search that crime scene, and yet they are forced to do so, without compromising the evidence, the defendant’s constitutional rights, or the animal’s health or life. Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s attorneys to discuss how these and other issues can be resolved for a successful prosecution, and how they can be addressed or avoided in future cases.

HASS Presents: Register today to hear from our leaders about the intersection of human struggles, human services, and animal services—and how that relates to the animal welfare movement and HASS.
