As leaders\, it is our responsibility to grow teams with unique points of view to gain fresh ideas and perspectives and ensure growth\, change\, and continued success in our organizations.  Many leaders\, in our industry as well as others\, tend to be a bit controlling\, and since many of us have done just about every job in animal welfare\, we may think we know how to do it all.  We aren’t wrong about knowing how to do it\, but do we know how to do it best? This session is designed to discuss how leaders within animal welfare can approach recruitment\, retention\, and promotion to foster a diverse team of subject matter experts to help take their organization to the next level. \n  \nOther Webinars in this Series Include:\n\nDec 10: Recruiting the Next Generation to Your Agency\nApril 8: Staycations and Daycations – Building Short Term Foster Programs\nJuly 8: Building and Maintaining a Productive\, High Volume Fostering Program\nJuly 22: The Care\, Nurturing and Enrichment of Tame & Feral Volunteers\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\nPresenters:\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Josh Fisher has an educational background in population management/medicine\, public health\, veterinary sciences\, informatics\, and healthcare administration.  He has been working in the veterinary medical/animal welfare field for over 15 years holding management roles in private practices\, cooperate practices\, the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine\, county government\, and now as the Animal Services Director for the City of Charlotte/Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. \nA strong advocate for professional development and growth in the animal welfare industry\, Josh seeks to involve staff in continued education and training opportunities as well as in cutting edge industry research.  His professional interests focus on disease reduction/prevention\, advanced marketing/placement and intake reduction tactics\, strategic planning\, and staff career development in the area of animal welfare.  His projects include increasing interest of veterinary/veterinary technician students in the animal welfare industry as well as working with community veterinarians to break down barriers\, develop relationships\, and increase involvement in community-focused animal welfare (animal control and sheltering) practices. \nIt is a passion of Josh’s to bring a level of awareness to the animal welfare industry in such a way that young adults and college students make the decision to pursue animal welfare as a profession rather than falling into it by chance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/recruiting-the-next-generation-to-your-agency/ URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-12-10-20-recruiting-the-next-generation-to-your-agency-naca-justice-clearinghouse/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Recruiting-the-Next-Gen-NACA-579767725.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201210T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201210T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T112957 CREATED:20201130T174051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201130T174051Z UID:10000991-1607612400-1607616000@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/10/20 - Fighting like Cats & Dogs: Dealing with Interspecies Aggression - Katenna Jones - FDSA (fee applies) DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, December 10\, 2020\nTime: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).\nFee: $19.95 – Registration required PRIOR to scheduled presentation time. \nYou’ve heard the saying – “they were fighting like cats and dogs!” So often images depict dogs chasing cats and the cats running in terror like this is just the accepted norm.

When it comes to placing behaviorally challenged dogs\, that is the question. \nThe unintended consequence of reduced shelter populations has been an increase in placements of challenging dogs. We see success stories on social media and television shows\, but is there more to the story? What is their quality of life – and that of their owners? Learn more about what effect these dogs are having on the families that love them and the communities they live in. \nThis panel will bring together research from Seana Dowling-Guyer about what happens to dogs after adoption\, with post-adoption case studies from professional dog trainer Melissa McCue-McGrath\, and shelter trends and perspectives from Mike Keiley from MSPCA. \nThis 90-minute panel and Q&A is part of a 3-part series from The New England Federation of Humane Societies (NEFHS) hosted by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis session has been pre-approved for 1.5 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits. \n\n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/11421-placing-behaviorally-challenged-dogs URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-1-14-21-placing-behaviorally-challenged-dogs-the-aawa-and-nefhs/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/dog-1209066_640.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201215T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T112957 CREATED:20201207T201123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201207T201123Z UID:10000821-1608026400-1608031800@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Webinar - 12/15/20 and 1/31/21 - Playgroups Part 3: The How - Dogs Playing for Life DESCRIPTION:PLAYGROUPS PART 3: THE HOW\n\n\n\n\nEARN 1.5 CAWA & IAABC CEU CREDITS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith COVID-19 continuing to be a factor in our daily lives\, we understand how challenging it’s been to get back to normal.

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.

This presentation will focus on the sources of OA in dogs\, the impact of OA on limbs and mobility in dogs\, the management options that positively impact dogs with OA\, and the principles and logistics of long-term OA management programs. The functional stages of OA and management steps to consider at each of these stages will be discussed. At the end of this presentation\, veterinarians will be comfortable with screening dogs for OA\, staging OA in affected dogs\, discussing the impact of classic forms of OA management\, and developing a management program adapted to the dog and its owner. \n\nSpeaker\n\nDenis Marcellin-Little\, DEDV\, DACVS\, DACVSMR \nDr. Marcellin-Little is professor of small animal orthopedic surgery at the University of California\, Davis\, where he is Small Animal Orthopedics Service Chief.

For many\, the recommended time has been six months of age. By that time a cat may be pregnant and shelters are overflowing. For that reason\, Marian’s Dream embarked on a campaign to push the recommended age for felines back by four weeks. Dr. Bushby will present his findings on why the change is recommended\, specific concerns that people have raised\, and the research that supports the change. \nVeterinarians often wait until cats are 6 months old before spay/neuter. The AVMA\, AAHA\, AAFP and the ASV disagree with waiting that long. The new normal is prior to 5 months of age. Several factors have led to this change: \n1. Mammary neoplasia is the 3rd most common cancer in cats and 85 to 90% of feline mammary tumors are malignant. Spay before 5 months of age significantly reduces mammary neoplasia.\n2. Spay/Neuter prior to 5 months of age reduces unplanned and unwanted litters of kittens.\n3. Castration prior to 5 months of age significantly reduces sexual behaviors which often cause relinquishment of cats to animal shelters. \nIt is safe to spay/neuter cats that young. Surgeries are easier\, faster and safer. There are no adverse physiologic or orthopedic effects from spay/neuter prior to 5 months of age. Cats in shelters should be sterilized prior to adoption. Owned cats should be sterilized after the kitten vaccination series\, but before 5 months of age. \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. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4058934446112442126 URL:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/event/webinar-1-18-21-the-new-normal-spay-neuter-by-five-months-of-age-national-kitten-coalition/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sheltermedportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/cat-4282123_640.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210119T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210119T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T112958 CREATED:20201214T190148Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201214T190148Z UID:10001027-1611075600-1611079200@www.sheltermedportal.com SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/19/21 - Localizing Dyspnea: Taking the Distress Out of Respiratory Diseases - drip.vet DESCRIPTION:drip.vet and CriticalCareDVM.com want to make sure your access to high-quality continuing education is not a pain point for you!
