Shelter Learniverse

Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
2020-10-05 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-10-12 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-10-19 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-10-26 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-11-02 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-11-09 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-11-16 08:00 - 09:00, 2020-11-30 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles) and 3 more dates
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelter workers, volunteers and animal welfare leaders from across the country have been meeting every Monday morning at 7am PT/10am ET to discuss protocols, ideas, obstacles they’re facing and more.
NEW TIME as of 9/23/20 – 8 AM PT, 11 AM ET.
Led by Kristen Hassen-Auerbach, Director of Pima Animal Care in Tucson, AZ, these calls have provided an opportunity for people to connect that otherwise may not have even met.
“The purpose of these calls is simple – maintain connection among shelter professionals, provide support and comradery, and share science-based news and information along with emerging best practices in animal welfare,” Hassen-Auerbach says. “These calls are always lively and interesting and we’re not afraid to debate and share different perspectives from the attendees. You can take center stage and share your thoughts and ideas in front of several hundred of your colleagues or quietly drink your morning coffee and listen in.”
For many, these calls have been an invaluable resource. “When the subject of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) came to the front of all of our minds, the calls adapted and we had a space to again learn from one another,” said Emily Klehm from South Suburban Humane Society in Chicago Heights, IL. “The calls have been my go-to source for grant information, statistics and trends. I’ve also been able to identify and connect to colleagues working on the same issues in similar communities.”
Dr. Ellen Jefferson, Executive Director at Austin Pets Alive! adds, “We hear from people in the industry who have important information related to COVID, new programming and research.  This is information you can’t possibly get in your day to day work at your local shelter.”
If you’re a shelter professional, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization, we want you to join us! Bookmark the link below and we will see you on Monday!
Note: The calls are recorded so if you can’t make it, you can listen in later. If you haven’t already, join the Facebook group to access the link to recorded calls and to connect with others on there.

CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 10/22/20 - Villain, Victim, or Hero Presentation by Billions Institute Leader Becky Margiotta - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP
2020-10-22 09:30 - 10:30 | Virtual
On a scale from one to ten, how open are you to learning something new?
Curiosity and humility are a huge part of leading change. And while most of us love to learn and believe we’re completely open to discovery, the truth is we all take on different personas that take us out of learning without us even being aware that we’ve “turned off” learning mode.
Join us for a different kind of CASCAR (that’s right, this is new territory for us!), where we’ll go on a journey with one of Dr. Hurley’s mentors, the incredible Becky Margiotta (100,000 Homes Campaign, Skid Row School for Unleashing Large-Scale Change, Billion Institute), to find out which of the three main personas, hero, victim, villain, like to ride with us to work from time to time. (Don’t be shy, we all have uninvited carpoolers.)
Most importantly, we’ll learn how to recognize when they are showing up and what to do with them when they do.
Bring your staff, bring your board, bring your cat. We’re on a mission to move barriers out of the way of progress and, sometimes, that starts with a little self-discovery.

CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters – 10/29/20 – Taking the Fear Out of Fungus! – CASCAR – UC Davis KSMP
2020-10-29 09:30 - 10:30 | Virtual
In this fun fungal discussion, we’re going to focus on how to treat ringworm pandemic style (i.e. in foster homes). Sound daunting? It’s really not that scary! San Francisco SPCA SPORE leader Laura Mullen will break it down for us.
We’re going to cover:

Organizing treatment and follow up in foster homes
When can they come back? Avoiding ‘Out of sight; Out of mind”
Tip and tricks of the trade: Learning from fungal foster parents on the frontlines
Bringing the community together: It takes a village, what can we do even if we don’t want to foster ringworm cats

CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters – 11/5/20 – Office Hours: What's Next? – CASCAR – UC Davis KSMP
2020-11-05 09:30 - 10:30 | Virtual
Nope, we haven’t forgotten. Your valuable feedback about community perception, what it is and what we’d like it to be, is what we’ll be discussing on our upcoming office hours call. We’ll share the results (again since it’s been a bit) more in depth and welcome your feedback – both how it strikes you and where we can go from here to bring about the change we’d all like to see. To be clear, change that we can effect as a group of caring individuals in animal welfare – as much as we’d like to, we cannot make sweeping promises about the outcomes of this week. What we can do there is vote.
See you Thursday at 9:30 a.m.!

CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 12/10/20 - SF SPCA Shelter PALS: Leveraging Your Medical Team - UC Davis KSMP
2020-12-10 09:30 - 10:30 | Virtual
Are you fully leveraging your medical talent?
Calling all executive and medical directors!
This Thursday, Brandy Kuentzel and Bruce Wagman of SF SPCA Shelter PALS will be back at CASCAR discussing how to optimize your medical talent and the legalities of staff and volunteers performing specific medical tasks in your shelter.
If you’ve ever wondered:

Can vaccines be administered during hold periods?
Do shelters need a premise permit?
What if we don’t have a veterinarian on site – can we use standing protocols?
Is microchipping or administering snap tests the practice of veterinary medicine?

This CASCAR meeting is for you!
In this one hour presentation, the PALS team will dive into why shelters are challenging the status quo, what we can and can’t do (yup, let’s talk about those premise permits), the tasks your key personnel are permitted to do and excluded from doing, and how you can use volunteer talent to support your medical team.

Join the Call
When: Dec 10, 2020 09:30 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

2020-12-17 09:30 - 10:30 | Virtual
Join us for one whole agenda-less hour of reflection and merry-making!
2020 has been a doozy, but we’ve made it through with a little help from our friends. Let’s take an hour to celebrate the power of community, good intentions and terrible drawing skills (just a prediction).
Bad holiday sweaters and early morning imbibing is encouraged, but not required.
