Webinar – 7/20/20 – The Future of Volunteers in Sheltering –

Adisa Presents: Volunteers and those who lead them are critical to the lifesaving work of animal shelters nationwide. The last few months have drastically changed how most organizations engage volunteers. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the country, animal shelters quickly shifted operations, moving animals into foster and—in most cases—asking the majority of volunteers to stay home. Many areas are now seeing increasing coronavirus infection rates as states struggle to move responsibly through various stages of re-opening.

Webinar – 7/20/20 – Dental Cleaning and Periodontal Therapy – VDOS (fee applies)

Closed periodontal therapy (root planing and gingival curettage) and perioceutic treatment (local administration of medications) will be reviewed. Instrument sharpening will be briefly explained.
