Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

Maddie’s Fund Presents: 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 – NEW TIME 8 AM PT/11 AM ET as of 9/23/20 – to discuss protocols, ideas, obstacles they’re facing and more.

KSMP and Shelter PALS Present: PALS attorneys discuss intake in California animal shelters. Gain a better understanding of California’s legal framework and your shelter’s legal obligations for animal intake in the state. This knowledge will in turn help shelter leaders more confidently
communicate to diverse constituents about their shelter operations and explore creative ways to optimize lifesaving in their own communities, in times of both crisis and calm.

UW Shelter Medicine and UCDavis KSMP Present: This upcoming Tuesday September 15th from 3-4pm CST we will be joined by Pets for Life’s Amanda Arrington and Gabbi Chapman and HSUS TX State Director Lauren Loney to lead a discussion on the following: Affordable housing shortages already existed for renters in every state in the country before the pandemic. Now tens of millions of renters are estimated to be at risk of eviction in the coming months due to exacerbated economic challenges from COVID 19.  To keep pets in their homes, we have to keep people in their homes. Join us to talk through housing support and eviction response programs and advocacy on this important issue.

Maddie’s Fund Presents – These calls are for executive and leadership level staff. 150 to 200 shelter professionals, national leaders and shelter veterinarians typically participate and we discuss everything from disaster and emergency relief planning, to creating more diverse, equitable and inclusive organizations, to addressing the realities of budget reductions and the need to pivot to better serve people and animals.
