How do you obtain legal custody of the animal victims? Animals are property under the law\, which means agencies who remove them from their owners must ensure they are standing on solid legal ground. Agencies seizing animals in criminal cases face many challenges. Animals are the evidence of the crime but\, with time\, their conditions change. Wounds heal and illness and disease are treated. The evidentiary value of the animals’ condition diminishes as they recover.  Therefore\, by the time the case goes to court\, the current condition of the animal or its presence in the courtroom is not necessary to make the case.  Animal victims deserve to recover and be placed into a suitable permanent home as quickly as possible. This session will explore civil remedies agencies have to secure custody of seized animals. \n  \nOther Webinars in this Series with Adam include: \n\nEngagement of Public-Private Partnerships in Animal Cruelty Investigations\nJune 30: Is Mission Creep Killing Your Agency?\nOct 8: Custody Considerations in Animal Control (this webinar)\nDec 8: What Your Boss Wished You Knew: Professionalism in an Increasingly Unprofessional World\n\n  \n\n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters:\n\n\n\nBased out of Daytona Beach\, Florida\, Adam Leath is the Director of Volusia County Animal Services. He investigates and responds to situations involving animal victims of natural disasters and animal cruelty cases in Volusia County.  Leath was formerly a Regional Director of the Field Investigations and Response Team at the ASPCA where he led one of the largest operations in ASPCA history with the seizure of over 1\,000 animals in August of 2016. Leath also successfully investigated one of the largest cockfighting cases in Florida history\, resulting in the seizure of more than 650 birds and numerous arrests. Leath has responded to multiple dogfighting operations throughout his time at the ASPCA\, including the second-largest dogfighting bust in U.S. history in 2013\, resulting in the seizure of more than 400 dogs. \nLeath holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from the University of Tennessee and a Graduate Certificate in Veterinary Forensic Science from the University of Florida. He is a courtesy Assistant Professor for the Department of Comparative\, Diagnostic\, and Population Medicine at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.  Leath is a Past President of the International Veterinary Forensic Sciences Association and is a Certified National Animal Cruelty Investigator through the University of Missouri.

In the past\, others simply said we cannot or will not help\, but YOU can with a little knowledge\, help from your vet\, and some elbow grease. \nLeg and paralysis issues are not uncommon in kittens; from the simple “twisted leg syndrome” to the more serious traumatic spinal issues. In this free webinar\, Susan Spaulding\, also known as ‘Kitten Mom’ will discuss how you can work with your veterinarian to do as much as possible to help these kittens. She will describe protocols you can start early to help achieve the best outcomes\, and she will touch on some of the ways you can modify common items to fit your tiny kitten. She will also discuss tools like the Assisi Loop and laser therapy that can aid in the healing process. \n*The recording for this webinar will be available on NKC’s Archived Webinar page (https://kittencoalition.org/resources/archived-webinars/) within a few weeks after the webinar ends. \n**This kitten life-saving project was made possible in part through a generous Grant from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://kittencoalition.org/event/webinar-life-and-limb-a-discussion-of-leg-and-paralysis-issues-in-kittens/ URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-10-12-20-life-and-limb-a-discussion-of-leg-and-paralysis-issues-in-kittens-national-kitten-coalition/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cat-448339_640.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201012T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201012T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144303 CREATED:20201005T204024Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201005T204024Z UID:10000634-1602500400-1602500400@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/12/20 - The Role of Habit in Behavior - Dr. Kristina Spaulding\, PhD\, CCAB - PPG (fee may apply) DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar for PPG Members \nCEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT (pending)\, KPA (pending)\, IAABC (pending) \n\nWhat is habit\, really?

How you approach and release an entrapped animal can greatly impact the level of stress and potential injury they experience.  This webinar will provide instruction for how to release wrongly trapped animals (both domestic and wild) from trap types that include foothold\, snares\, body-gripping\, and box or cage style in a variety of situations and in the most humane and least stressful manner possible. This webinar will also discuss developing an awareness of how these traps work and what tools and personal protection and precautions might be necessary. \n  \n  \n\n \n  \nThe National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nThe National Law Enforcement Center on Animal Abuse was established by the National Sheriffs’ Association to provide law enforcement officers information on the realities of animal abuse and to promote their proactive involvement in the enforcement of animal abuse laws in their communities. Through our partners\, the Center will serve as an information clearinghouse and forum for law enforcement on the growing problem of animal abuse and its link to other types of crimes\, including violence against humans. The Center also promotes officer safety in officer-dog encounters through continuing education and training. \n  \n  \n  \n \nFounded in 1954\, the Humane Society of the United States and its affiliates around the globe fight the big fights to end suffering for all animals. Together with millions of supporters\, the HSUS takes on puppy mills\, factory farms\, trophy hunts\, animal testing and other cruel industries\, and together with its affiliates\, rescues and provides direct care for over 100\,000 animals every year. The HSUS works on reforming corporate policy\, improving and enforcing laws and elevating public awareness on animal issues. \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n** This webinar has been certified by the National Sheriffs’ Association and may be eligible for Continuing Education Units through your POST.

Understanding the separation anxiety process better through this webinar will open up doors\, and further busting some myths will help us elevate separation anxiety training to the status it deserves. We will reveal considerable data about the current research in addition to reviewing single study design. \n \nMalena DeMartini-Price is renowned in the dog training world for her expertise in dog separation anxiety issues. She is the author of the book Treating Separation Anxiety in Dogs and has contributed articles on separation anxiety to multiple publications such as the Association of Professional Dog Trainers’ (APDT) Chronicle of the Dog\, Pet Professional Guild’s (PPG) Barks From the Guild\, and various national magazines such as The Bark. She lectures on SA at professional dog training workshops and conferences around the world\, including everything from large professional conferences to small venues. She also has been interviewed widely on this topic and multiple videos and podcasts have been produced.

Her particular strengths lie in reading the subtleties of dog body language and guiding owners patiently and with great enthusiasm through the gentle process of healing their dogs. \nToday\, her practice is split between overseeing a team of the top SA trainers in the world and continuing to educate trainers\, veterinarians\, and dog owners to better treat SA\, in order to help the most number of dogs and humans possible overcome this agonizing issue. In addition to writing and lecturing\, Malena runs a certification program for accomplished dog professionals looking to hone their SA skills and also has produced an online self-paced course for dog owners. \nMalena lives in Northern California with her husband Kevin—also a certified dog trainer—their dog Tini DeMartini\, and a myriad of local separation anxiety dog-friends who occasionally hang out while completing their training. \nhttps://malenademartini.com/ \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-10-15-20-myths-and-perceived-barriers-to-separation-anxiety-success-malena-demartini-fdsa-fee-applies/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/dog-2579897_1280.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201015T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201015T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144303 CREATED:20201012T220557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201012T220557Z UID:10000905-1602781200-1602784800@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/15/20 - The Love Affair That Changed America: Pet Nation - The Bridge Club DESCRIPTION:Veterinary medicine continues to evolve because we’ve become a pet nation. This is a conversation on how we got where we are today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn the last 20 years pets have gone from living in the backyard to sleeping on our beds\, and now show up outside of the home in every corner of America. Pet Nation tells the story of this seismic shift and the economic\, media\, legal\, political\, and social dramas springing from this cultural transformation. \nSince 1998 the pet population in the U.S. has almost doubled — about two-thirds of the country now owns a pet. No longer left to wander the neighborhood\, dogs and cats eat special food\, get individualized medical attention\, and even fly in the cabin. \nAs founder of the Animal Policy Group\, Mark Cushing gives us an inside look at the rise of Pet Nation\, tracking the myriad ways pets are adopted (a “Canine Freedom Train” runs south to north)\, reporting on pet rights legislation (and the unseen problems that come with elevating their status)\, revealing the truth about large scale breeders (many of whom have been wrongly targeted)\, and discovering that despite what many organizations would have us believe\, there is a shortage of dogs. \nIn this rare Bridge Club discussion\, we get to understand how Lassie did play a role in changing how pets are treated and more! Come join author\, Mark Cushing\, as we take the Pet Nation journey. \nThis book is currently for pre-order at Pre-order link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593083865?tag=randohouseinc39867-20 \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pet-nation-the-love-affair-that-changed-america-tickets-116250421139 URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/online-event-10-15-20-the-love-affair-that-changed-america-pet-nation-the-bridge-club/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Online Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/bridge-club-pet-nation.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201017T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201017T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144303 CREATED:20200915T004234Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200915T004234Z UID:10000870-1602918000-1602943200@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/17/20 - 2020 Fundraising Day: A Virtual One-Day Conference to Help Animal Nonprofits Navigate Fundraising in a COVID-19 World - Community Cats Podcast DESCRIPTION:How is COVID-19 affecting fundraising for animal welfare nonprofits across the country?

Students will establish a baseline understanding of what could be in their toolbox\, ideas for determining reinforcers\, determining rate of food delivery\, and more. This knowledge will be applied as students learn how to target train a cat using clicker training\, discuss applications\, and practice target training with their cats. \nHomework: \n– Identify which rewards your cat prefers\, the marker your cat is comfortable with\, and define that marker for your cat (pair with reward). \n– Post a video of one of your training sessions and discuss what you did well and what could use improvement. \n– Post a positive comment on at least one fellow student’s training video. \nWeek #2 – Improving Mechanical Skill \nThis week students will learn about setting criteria\, adjusting rates of reinforcement\, assessing progress\, DRI/DRO/DRA\, and more. \nHomework: \n– Post video of target training your cat\, in which you repeatedly make the same mistake. Discuss the mistake\, how you felt when you “caught” it\, and how you plan to move forward. \n– Post a video of target training your cat\, in which you are no longer making the mistake. \n– Post a positive comment on at least one fellow student’s training video. \nWeek #3 – Building Toward Useful Behaviors \nThis week\, students will learn how to take target training to the next level and begin teaching cats skills that can be applied to the real world. \nHomework: \n– Post a video of you training the skill you selected. Discuss why you chose this behavior and what kinds of problem behaviors you think it might be useful for. \n– Review at least one fellow student’s training video and discuss what kinds of problem behaviors you think it might be useful for. \nWeek #4 – Achieving Fluency \nThis week\, students will learn to assist their cats in becoming fluent in the behaviors they have been working on throughout this course.

Adopting out animals that are taking psychoactive medication can be challenging as potential adopters often have preconceptions. Shelter staff\, including veterinarians\, need to be prepared to navigate such adoption counseling conversations to make the right match.  Learn how to help adopters understand the full situation and their role in a successful outcome. Medication monitoring in the shelter and post-adoption support will also be discussed. This presentation is suited for veterinary\, shelter\, rescue\, and animal behavior professionals. \nThis session is part of the Shelter Medicine series\, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis live and recorded program has been approved for: \n\n1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval\n1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit\n1 CE towards ACO CE requirements per Ch. 829 of the Texas Health and Safety Code by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)\n\nBONUS!: \n– Members of The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement who are vets or vet students may receive a free 1-year membership with the Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV). \n– Members of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians who are professionals may receive a free 1-year membership with The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.  Veterinary students are not eligible for this promotion. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/sheltermed-10-21-20 URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-10-21-20-the-role-of-psychopharmacology-in-shelter-animal-management-the-aawa/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/person-carrying-white-maltese.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201022T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201022T103000 DTSTAMP:20260403T144303 CREATED:20201019T164813Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201019T164813Z UID:10000650-1603359000-1603362600@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 10/22/20 - Villain\, Victim\, or Hero Presentation by Billions Institute Leader Becky Margiotta - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP DESCRIPTION:On a scale from one to ten\, how open are you to learning something new?  \nCuriosity 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. \nJoin 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.) \nMost importantly\, we’ll learn how to recognize when they are showing up and what to do with them when they do. \nBring 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. \nTo Join the Zoom Meeting \nhttps://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/j/900364297?pwd=WndTUnlidXhqaStMSjNZdlJDVDg0QT09 \nMeeting ID: 900 364 297 \nPasscode: together \nOne tap mobile \n+16699006833\,\,900364297# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location \n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York) \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown) \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \nMeeting ID: 900 364 297 \nFind your local number: https://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/u/acRTFiO9ex URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/cascar-zoom-call-for-california-shelters-10-22-20-villain-victim-or-hero-presentation-by-billions-institute-leader-becky-margiotta-cascar-uc-davis-ksmp/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Zoom Meeting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/becky-margiotta.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
