SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/1/20 - Keeping Families Together: Navigating the Blurry Lines Between Neglect\, Cruelty and Lack of Access to Care - Best Friends Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Best Friends Town Halls\n\n\nThe Best Friends Town Hall series brings together thought leaders from Best Friends and across the industry to provide insight\, analysis\, and solutions to the unprecedented challenges to lifesaving that we’re all facing right now. \nThe topic of each town hall reflects the most earnest conversations happening that week in animal welfare. We treat the event as an interactive forum where live questions from attendees are answered with a crowd-sourced solution that benefits all. \nEvery live town hall is recorded and posted down below. Keep an eye on this page for updates each week. \nJoin us for our next Town Hall: \nKeeping Families Together: Navigating the Blurry Lines Between Neglect\, Cruelty and Lack of Access to Care– As we navigate the change to impounding only high-priority intakes\, Animal Control Officers come across field cases where impounding an animal is necessary. But\, there are also cases where providing the owner with resources keeps the pet at home and out of the shelter. Join us for this town hall where Best Friends Director of National Municipal and Shelter Support (and NACA president) Scott Giacoppo\, helps you define cruelty vs. resource deprivation to establish your own organizational guidelines for when to provide resources vs. impound an animal. \nPanelists:\nAudra Michael CPM\, Director\, Pinal County Animal Care and Control\nNick Walton\, Manager of National Municipal and Shelter Support\, Best Friends\nApril Moore\, Chief Officer of Animal Services\, Kansas City Pet Project \n\nRegister: Thursday\, October 1\, 2020 at 6:00 PM Eastern time.\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://network.bestfriends.org/tools-and-information/best-friends-town-halls

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/2/20 - Stressed Out:  Dogs\, Hormones and Stress - Dr. Jessica Hekman - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:CEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \n\nAnxiety is a major problem for many pet dogs. What happens in your dog’s brain and body when something scares her? How long can you expect her stress response to last? \nIn this webinar\, Jessica Hekman\, DVM\, PhD\, will talk about the stress response in dogs. She will explain the original evolutionary purpose of the stress response; what the hormones involved in it (like cortisol) do in the body; the difference between acute and chronic stress and the different effects they have on dogs’ health; and what we know about how long it takes the body to clear those hormones. You will definitely learn some cool stuff about how the brain works and what that means for your stressed-out dog! \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how the stress response functions and what its purpose is.\nDescribe health effects (both positive and negative!) for acute versus chronic stress.\nExplain how the stress response affects the dog’s brain and their ability to think clearly and behave normally.\nDescribe how long it takes the stress response to clear from the body\, and list possible alternative explanations for dogs who display signs of stress longer than it takes for stress hormones to be cleared.\n\n\n\nAbout The Presenter\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jessica Hekman\, DVM\, PhD\n \n\nJessica is a veterinary researcher who is fascinated by dog behavior. After eleven years working as a computer programmer\, she decided to go back to school to research the causes of behavior problems in dogs. She received her veterinary degree in 2012 from the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts\, where she also received a Master’s degree for her work on stress behaviors in hospitalized dogs. After graduation\, she completed a year-long internship specializing in shelter medicine at the University of Florida Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program. She received her PhD in genetics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, studying a group of foxes (often known as the “Siberian silver foxes”) which have been bred over many generations to be friendly to humans. She is currently working at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard as a postdoctoral associate\, studying the genetics of behavior in pet dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project and the Working Dogs Project. Her ultimate goal is to find genetic causes of fearfulness in dogs\, to work with behaviorally challenged shelter dogs\, and to help people better understand the science behind dog behavior. She also frequently teaches online classes and webinars about canine genetics and behavior. Jessica lives in Raymond\, NH with her husband and three dogs. You can follow her on Twitter @dogzombieblog or on Facebook at facebook.com/dogzombieblog. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-3702930

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/6/20 - Looking Back to Look Forward: Why Fear and Bias Have Weakened the Animal Welfare Movement - The AAWA and PetFinder Pro
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Petfinder Pro Adoption Options Series:\nLooking Back to Look Forward: Why Fear and Bias Have Weakened the Animal Welfare Movement — and How We Can Seize This Opportunity To Change That\nThe animal welfare field is fueled by compassionate individuals who share a deep love of animals. At the same time\, that compassion has not always been extended to the other side of the leash. Fear and bias have created structural barriers to adoption\, unequal access to pet care resources\, and missed opportunities to accomplish our lifesaving goals. Together\, we will learn how to identify outdated practices and policies while addressing the underlying\, well-intentioned concerns that have kept them in place. \nAttendees will hear how peer organizations throughout the United States have embraced a fresh and more equitable approach to supporting the bond between pets and the diverse range of people who love them. The future of animal welfare is bright and we have an unprecedented opportunity to make positive change!  \nThis webinar has been pre-approved for: \n\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\nPetfinder members who participate are eligible for exclusive Petfinder Foundation grant opportunities. \n\nTo register for Adoption Options workshops\, log in with your Association username and password OR create a FREE “Learning Non-Member” account. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/looking-back-to-look-forward-why-fear-and-bias-have-weakened-the-animal-welfare-movement

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/7/20 - Supporting Families Through Access to Veterinary Care - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:All pets deserve access to veterinary care. But millions of families have limited access to veterinary care\, mainly due to insufficient funds. Lack of needed veterinary care negatively impacts the whole family—human and nonhuman—and may lead to relinquishment to shelters. The community this is also at risk from the spread of zoonotic diseases. \nDr. Blackwell\, Director of the Program for Pet Health Equity\, University of Tennessee\, will speak about this national family crisis and AlignCare®\, a One Health healthcare system to address it. AlignCare improves access to veterinary care for families in need by aligning community resources and activities nationally. AlignCare is structured on One Health by: \n\nAddressing the financial and emotional needs of pet parents/guardians (people)\nEnabling veterinary service providers to help underserved pets (animals)\nControlling and spreading costs to address the impacts of low socioeconomic status (Environment or ecosystem)\n\nThe AlignCare System is the first healthcare model that encompasses human and companion health and wellbeing. As such\, the AlignCare infrastructure involves close collaboration between veterinary social work coordinators and veterinary service providers committed to the AlignCare vision of keeping families together. \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 program is pending approval for: \n\n1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit.\n1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE approval.\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/shelter-medicine

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/8/20 - Custody Considerations in Animal Control - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Does your agency investigate and respond to criminal cases involving animals? 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. He has also been certified in Equine Cruelty Investigation through the University of Colorado. Leath has been certified as an expert witness in animal fighting and animal cruelty in the states of Florida and New York. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/custody-considerations-in-animal-control/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/12/20 - Life and Limb: A Discussion of Leg and Paralysis Issues in Kittens - National Kitten Coalition
DESCRIPTION:In rescue\, almost by definition\, we see kittens that face health challenges\, including limb abnormalities. 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/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/13/20 - How to Free Companion Animals and Wildlife Wrongly Caught in Traps - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Whether responding in the field to release an animal wrongly caught\, guiding someone through it over the phone\, or setting an animal free after translocation\, this webinar will equip you with the basic steps to follow to not only successfully release\, but to reduce stress and injury to the animal as well. 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. Please consult your local certification processes for additional details. Paid subscribers that attend will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Sheriffs’ Association logo.\n\n\n\nPresenters:\n\n\n\nDave Pauli started his animal career in 1979 by opening a wildlife rescue business in Madison\, Wisconsin called Humane Animal Controls\, Inc.    Since that time he also served as a Superintendent of Animal Control (Billings Animal Shelter)\, Director of bi-county Humane Society in Eastern Washington (Tri-Cities) and for the past 29 years as a field responder/director for The Humane Society of The United States. \nDave has responded to domestic animal/exotic/wild animal projects in all 50 states and two dozen countries. Dave currently responds to natural disasters\, major cruelty and hoarding cases\, and participates in Chemical immobilization\, and immunocontraception projects for deer and horses. He also participates in volume capture projects for prairie dogs\, feral dogs and cats\, and many other species. He also supports and advises all HSUS Wildlife\, Animal Rescue Team\, Humane Society International and the Wildlife Land Trust teams with field projects or programs.  He is an HSUS point person on Wild Pigs\, Prairie Dogs\, Turtles and Tortoises\, Florida Gopher Tortoises\, Trapping Issues and Wildlife Contraception. Dave serves on the boards of six NGO’s and serves on the USDA Wild Pig Task Force and Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks Species Classification and Trapping Advisory committees. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/how-to-free-companion-animals-and-wildlife-wrongly-caught-in-traps/
