SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/8/20 - Supporting Renters with Pets During COVID-19 - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:October 8\, 2020 by Abby Volin and Sarah Rosenberg\nAudience: Executive Leadership\, Public\, Shelter/Rescue Staff & Volunteers\nSecuring pet-friendly housing was already a challenge\, even in the “before times\,” but the situation has reached nothing short of dire with the one-two punch delivered by the pandemic and a teetering national economy.

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 - 10/7/20 - 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 - 10/6/20 - 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: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
