CalAnimals Presents: UC Davis KSMP’s Dr. Hurley and Dr. Delany – Return to Field programs across the country have matured, enabling us to finally have an opportunity to look at the data and determine the effectiveness of these programs at managing the cats in our communities. We’ll discuss who these programs are really serving and how their evolution impacts the strategies driving your veterinary programs.

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Present: Whether you are part of a non-profit or municipal agency, Animal Welfare Organizations have to operate within a budget.  Organizations find themselves trying to meet the needs of citizens, both two and four-legged. However, animal welfare organizations find themselves at a crossroads between responding to requests for service and adhering to the mission of the organization. In the never-ending struggle to please everyone, is your organization’s mission taking a backseat to placating the next complaint? In this session, we will explore some of the common pitfalls organizations fall into that compete with their mission.

The AAWA Presents – It’s no secret that our nation is deeply divided along political and social lines. This is especially true right now. These divisions make it increasingly difficult for animal welfare organizations to develop messages that appeal to people on both sides of the divide. Join us for a session that will equip your organization with the tools your staff, volunteers, and board need to listen thoughtfully and communicate effectively with supporters who span the political and social spectrum. 

Chameleon Shelter Software Presents: This is the second class in a 3-part licensing series intended to help you become more efficient at licensing and generate revenue.

Karen Pryor Academy Presents: Join Ken Ramirez, KPCT’s Chief Training Officer, for a free hour-long virtual event live from The Ranch on Thursday, July 2 at 12:00 pm (PT). Ken will be joined by Kathy Sdao as she walks along the shoreline with her dog Smudge. They will discuss training, observational skills, and whatever comes up during the walk.

ASPCAPro Presents – Before resuming animal relocation programs amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s essential to consider whether it is legally permissible to resume, confirm that the benefits outweigh the risks, and evaluate the scope and readiness of the program in order to mitigate both human and animal disease transmission. This webinar will introduce attendees to a guide that was created to help organizations assess their program’s preparedness in resuming animal relocation operations.

NACA and the Justice Clearinghouse Present: Animal cruelty crimes generate unique and sensitive types of evidence. Some types of evidence, such as ammonia levels are transitory and require situation appropriate collection. Marks of animal struggling or suffering may be subtle but important to detect. Animals themselves may be evidence, whether living or deceased and they themselves present challenges at the crime scene and afterwards. This presentation will cover evidence recognition, documentation, preservation, and collection in a variety of types of animal cruelty crimes.

Chameleon Presents: WebInterest can connect you with potential adopters from PetHarbor.com, all with a click of a button. Well, that and a form they fill out. We send their information to you automatically, you save staff time and reach a wider audience.

CalAnimals Presents – for CalAnimals Members – One of the many ways sheltering services are changing is responding to the needs of pets living in the community. Pet Safety Net programs work to keep pets in their homes by providing support for their care. We will look at the programs offered at Marin Humane and Ventura County Animal Services that assist owners in keeping their pets and preventing surrenders.

TechSoup Presents: Remote work is exciting, fun, and different from office work. Getting into communication rhythms and making sure your team is performing well is not always easy. In this webinar, Adam Walker from the digital agency Sideways8 shares what he learned from running a company for 10years that never had an office. He’ll talk about how to think about remote work, the levels of communication to consider, and how to create a communications rhythm that will work for your team.
