SUMMARY:Online Event - 7/3/25 - Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection: Behind the Bark: What Foster Feedback Can Teach Any Program - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:When fosters speak up\, we sometimes default to extremes: either it’s just “one unhappy person\,” or it’s a sign the whole program is broken beyond repair. But the truth about how fosters experience your program lives in the gaps between assumptions and reality. In this talk\, we’ll explore how LifeLine Animal Project developed\, launched\, and analyzed a foster experience survey to uncover hidden trends\, validate unspoken concerns\, and turn raw feedback into rapid\, strategic improvements. Whether you lead a large shelter or a volunteer-based rescue program\, the lessons behind the data can help you strengthen your foundation\, one honest answer at a time. \nGuest Speaker: Daisy Navin\, Foster Programs Manager\, LifeLine Animal Project \nDaisy Navin is the Foster Programs Manager at LifeLine Animal Project\, where she oversees foster program development strategy across three Atlanta shelters\, including two high-intake municipal facilities. She helped grow LifeLine’s foster program into one of the largest in the country\, which placed over 13\,000 animals into foster homes 2024. Daisy is passionate about low-barrier fostering\, matchmaking\, foster relations\, and turning everyday insights into meaningful change. She’s presented with Maddie’s Fund on foster onboarding and loves collaborating with other shelters to troubleshoot\, innovate\, and share life-saving ideas.

SUMMARY:Online Event - 6/26/25 - Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection: Leadership through Lifesaving and Euthanasia Process - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Difficult lifesaving decisions can divide an organization and jeopardize team spirit. Strong leadership is essential to navigate these decisions and gain buy-in from staff and volunteers. At Cincinnati Animal CARE\, they have found a way to bring their team along and allow them to become part of the process from beginning to end. Through transparency\, open lines of communication\, clear action items\, and an “everyone’s welcome” attitude\, they have developed a supportive and respectful culture that has resulted in a 95% live release rate since 2020\, even as a municipal shelter with more than 4\,000 dogs and 4\,000 cats arriving each year. The buy-in from staff\, volunteers\, and foster caregivers has resulted in more efficiency from a more united team. The CAC team is now focused on lifesaving rather than criticizing and fighting. This presentation will look at how they developed their culture even when decisions are difficult. \nGuest Speaker: Meaghan Colville \nJoin us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month\, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group\, such as behavior medications\, modifying animal behavior\, assessing and improving animal welfare\, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats. \nWho should join: Animal welfare staff and volunteers who are interested in dog and cat behavior\, and everyone who works to keep pets out of shelters and in homes. \nYou only need to register once for all meetings: https://maddies.fund/MonthlyBehaviorRegistration \nCan’t attend live?

SUMMARY:Online Event - 6/24/25 - MCVMA's Community Connections: DEI is dying\, but was it ever enough? - MCVMA
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation centering on higher education pivoting away from “DEI” language and official programming and how to stay resilient in this changing world. We’ll also discuss DEI in institutions — was it ever really there? \nPlease note: registration is capped at 20 participants. Registration will close 1 hour before the start time. If you’d like to be added to the waiting list\, email us at info@mcvma.org. \nAll attendees must accept the Group Participation Requirements:\n1.

Veterinary professionals (vets\, techs\, assistants\, practice managers/owners\, researchers\, inspectors\, etc.) and students are welcome. \n2. Be Respectful and Courteous\nWe’re all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let’s treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural\, but respect is required. \n3. No Hate Speech or Bullying\nBullying of any kind isn’t allowed\, and degrading comments about things like race\, ethnicity\, religion\, culture\, age\, weight\, sexual orientation\, gender or identity will not be tolerated. \n4. No Commercial Advertising\, Spam\, Irrelevant Comments \n5. Respect Everyone’s Privacy\nNo space is truly “safe” but we aim to make this space “safer” and welcoming. Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic\, expressive discussions make groups great\, but may also be sensitive and private. Participants may share as little or as much as they’d like\, and we advise all to assess the benefits and risks of their participation. We ask that all participants keep discussions and stories shared in the group confidential. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/j4Y4o_xzQPGv-gfHCwIWdA#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/24/25 - Pet Protection Orders: A Powerful Tool to Respond to Animal Abuse and Domestic Violence - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Forty American states now specifically enable courts to include companion and/or farm animals in domestic violence protection-from-abuse orders. The movement to enable pet protection orders began in 2006 and has spread rapidly\, but several states are still holding out. \nThis webinar will examine the history of this movement\, the unexpected opposition to what should be a common-sense solution to Link issues\, and how well this legal mechanism is being utilized. \nThis webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo. Visit the NACA training page for a complete list of future trainings. \nPresenter: Phil Arkow \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pet-protection-orders-a-powerful-tool-to-respond-to-animal-abuse-and-domestic-violence/
