SUMMARY:Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION: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.     \nNEW TIME as of 9/23/20 – 8 AM PT\, 11 AM ET. \nLed 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.    \n“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.”  \nFor 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.”  \nDr. 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.”  \nIf 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! \nNote: 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. \nMONDAYS:  8:00 AM to 9:00 AM PT – new time \nJoin Zoom Meeting (same link as before)https://us02web.zoom.us/j/607482466?pwd=dWgwUDhUeVMzb01FcHNkc3dsUGlGUT09\n\nNEW Passcode: 249477\n\nMeeting ID: 607 482 466\n\nOne tap mobile+16699006833\,\,607482466#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,249477# US (San Jose)+12532158782\,\,607482466#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,249477# US (Tacoma)Dial by your location    +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)    +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)    +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)    +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)    +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)    +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)Meeting ID: 607 482 466Passcode: 249477Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kfjtq4DTY\n\nMEETING LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/607482466?pwd=dWgwUDhUeVMzb01FcHNkc3dsUGlGUT09

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/28/20 - Too Hot to Handle – Understanding and Working With the “Reactive” Dog - Dr. Christopher Pachel - Dog-iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Arousal is necessary for normal day to day activity as well as for survival. We also know that arousal levels are supposed to change in response to environmental and social pressures\, and that arousal can affect information processing and the modulation of fight/flight responses. Unfortunately\, not all arousal regulation systems are created or developed equally! This presentation will focus on those dogs that are easily over-stimulated by sensory information\, tend to over-react to their surroundings\, and have a difficult time recovering or returning to a normal resting level of arousal. Information specific to the underlying neurological basis for this pattern\, strategies for impacting the development of impulse control and arousal regulation throughout development\, as well as behavior modification and medication intervention strategies will be addressed and discussed. \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/market/catalog/live-webinars/live-webinars-english-c-34/too-hot-to-handle-understanding-and-working-with-the-reactive-dog.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/29/20 - Boxing Down: The Wrong Choice for Animals... and People - Fear Free
DESCRIPTION:Boxing Down: The Wrong Choice for Animals… and People\n\n\n\n\nMost of us who have been practicing for longer than a decade have used inhalant chambers to “box down” feline patients. It seemed to work\, and the patient was able to be treated. Why throw away a potentially useful sedation protocol? Because the use of inhalant chambers or masks (also called “boxing” or “masking”) for sedation or induction to anesthesia is not considered standard of care. \nWe hope you can join Clinical Behavioral Medicine Resident Alison Gerken\, DVM\, and Washington State University Adjunct Professor Tamara Grubb\, DVM\, PhD\, DACVAA\, as they discuss the science of why these techniques are no longer recommended and what you can do instead. \n\n\n\n\nTime \n\nOct 29\, 2020 08:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) \n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XefD28mPRvCwh6VdbMDyag

SUMMARY:Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION: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.     \nNEW TIME as of 9/23/20 – 8 AM PT\, 11 AM ET. \nLed 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.    \n“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.”  \nFor 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.”  \nDr. 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.”  \nIf 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! \nNote: 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. \nMONDAYS:  8:00 AM to 9:00 AM PT – new time \nJoin Zoom Meeting (same link as before)https://us02web.zoom.us/j/607482466?pwd=dWgwUDhUeVMzb01FcHNkc3dsUGlGUT09\n\nNEW Passcode: 249477\n\nMeeting ID: 607 482 466\n\nOne tap mobile+16699006833\,\,607482466#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,249477# US (San Jose)+12532158782\,\,607482466#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,249477# US (Tacoma)Dial by your location    +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)    +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)    +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)    +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)    +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)    +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)Meeting ID: 607 482 466Passcode: 249477Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kfjtq4DTY\n\nMEETING LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/607482466?pwd=dWgwUDhUeVMzb01FcHNkc3dsUGlGUT09
