Webinar for CalAnimals Members - 8/19/20 - Human Animal Social Services (HASS) - Prototyping an entirely new system to serve pets and people in our communities - CalAnimals
2020-08-19 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Wednesday, August 19th from 10am to 11am
Human Animal Social Services (HASS) – Prototyping an entirely new system to serve pets and people in our communities.
Lisa LaFontaine (Humane Rescue Alliance), Bobby Mann (AmPA), Dr. Ellen Jefferson (AmPA) and Dr. Gary Weitzman (San Diego Humane Society)
The animal sheltering system as we know it was created more than 100 years ago and depended on addressing animal issues separately from human issues. Today, many recognize we are long overdue for a new approach that is in line with human social services, social justice movements, and considers animals as part of family systems.
Join members of the Executive Committee and some of the animal shelter directors involved in the Human Animal Social Services coalition (HASS). Hear about how collaboration with shelters around the country prototyping an entirely new system to serve pets and people in our communities. This session will clarify the tenets of HASS, dispel any misinformation and ultimately, encourage other organizations to consider a reimagining of animal sheltering.

Online Meeting - CA Shelters/CASCAR - 8/18/20 - California: Telemedicine, Law and Policy - UC Davis KSMP/CASCAR Group
2020-08-18 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
California: Telemedicine, law and policy
Hello CASCARarians,
Just a quick reminder that tomorrow’s CASCAR meeting is an exciting one that many of us have been waiting for!
If you are a California shelter that has ever wanted to explore telemedicine but you’re not sure whether it’s even legally permitted, you’re not going to want to miss tomorrow’s webinar brought to you by the two CA-licensed animal law attorneys behind California’s new shelter policy and legal services program, Shelter PALS.
In one short hour, Brandy Kuentzel, SF SPCA General Counsel, and Bruce Wagman, leader of an exclusive animal law practice in a major US firm, will guide us through:
· Determining whether a veterinarian can legally engage in telemedicine for animals at a CA shelter, or who are in foster programs under a shelter program.
· If so, discuss under what circumstances veterinary telemedicine may be legally appropriate for shelter animals in CA.
· Gain a basic understanding of CA law and walk through real-world examples to facilitate learning.
· Learn more about a new program at the San Francisco SPCA, Shelter Policy and Legal Services (Shelter PALS), and how CA shelters can apply for free 1:1 legal support through Shelter PALS to explore possible implementation at your own shelter.
Note that all are welcome, but this webinar is specifically tailored to CA shelters (public, private and hybrid) and will address CA law only.
We will be gathering in our usual Zoom room at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJQtdO-srDItyMz7xy-ZsncbcFa6s8kKZg.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
See you in the morning!

Webinar - 8/18/20 - Can Dogs Have ADHD? A Look at Recent Research on Impulsivity, Hyperactivity and Inattention in Dogs - Dr. Kristina Spaulding - Pet Professionals Guild (fee applies)
2020-08-18 10:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
CEUs: PPAB 1, CCPDT (pending), KPA (pending), IAABC (pending)

As professionals, we often attribute hyperactive and impulsive behavior to age and lack of exercise, training, and/or enrichment. But is it possible that something else is going on in some dogs? Owners often joke that their dogs have ADHD. Could this be true? What do we actually know about inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in dogs? How can you use this information to more effectively address these behaviors in dogs?
This webinar will look at this issue by focusing on a recent research paper on this topic, but we will also discuss the findings of other, similar studies.
Learning Objectives:

Explain what ADHD-like behaviors are and why that term is used
Define impulsivity and describe how it’s measured
Summarize the research on ADHD-like behavior in dogs
Explain how we can use this research when working with dogs

Weekly Call - Monday Mornings - Connect With Other Animal Shelter Professionals - Maddie's Fund
2020-08-17 07:00 - 08:00, 2020-08-10 07:00 - 08:00
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.
Led 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.
“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.”
For 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.”
Dr. 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.”
If you’re a shelter professional, dedicated volunteer or run a rescue organization, we want you to join us! Bookmark this link and we will see you on Monday!
Note: 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.

Webinar - 8/13/20 - Thinking Differently About Websites - Virox
2020-08-13 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
There is a fundamental mistake that we all too often make when thinking about websites: we speak to the wrong part of the brain. You might think that a pet owner is on your website to ask questions such as “who are you, what do you do, and where do you do it?” – but the real question they are asking is much older… “can I trust you?” In order to attract more high quality clients, we must turn our attention towards the limbic system; the part of the brain that regulates emotions and social relationships. In this webinar, you will learn a fundamentally different way of looking at your website, and it just might change everything about your strategy.
About the Presenter
Robert is the founder and CEO of Digital Empathy, an award-winning web design and marketing firm for veterinary practices. He believes marketing must begin with understanding the psychology of relationships and decision making. Robert has a background in philosophy, which he believes instrumental in spotting hidden assumptions.

Webinar - 8/12/20 - How to Use the Found Animals system to Benefit Your Life-Saving Efforts - AmPa!
2020-08-12 17:00 - 18:00 | Virtual
In this session, we will jump into a hands-on approach to using the Michelson Found Animals free registry to manage the animals you foster, or pull from local shelters. Shelter personnel that oversee rescue and foster networks will also benefit from this. This session will be in three parts:
1. Explain and review microchips costs, why Found Animals is 100% free, and review our mission to be a partner in life-saving efforts.
2. In this section, we will invite one person that oversees a rescue or a foster network that does NOT use Found Animals. I will do a quick interview and learn more about their mission, and walk them through how a free account with us can save time, effort, and money. We’ll walk through creating an account together, adding animals, and processing a transfer of ownership (adoption) over to another user. In short, this will be a practical exercise that everyone can follow along with and leave the webinar with a clear understanding of how Found Animals can help their organization, big or small.
3. Q&A with the attendees. This is pretty self-explanatory and will add a huge amount of value as unique questions will likely come up. This will help others have some “Aha” moments and see how FA best fits into their program.

Webinar - 8/11/20 - Getting Started with Managed Intake - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
2020-08-11 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
In any open admission facility, one of the largest challenges faced is intake. The unpredictability of what may be coming into your facility and how it will enter leaves many of us walking in first thing in the morning with no idea how to plan our day. Animal welfare, just like any other business, needs to be able to have some method of planning for what is coming so that we can ensure we have what we need to handle the situation. We all know emergencies arise and we are all masters at flying by the seat of our pants, but are we doing that more than we need to? This session will discuss how some agencies have transitioned their intake model to allow for increased planning surrounding intake and thereby created an opportunity to increase the number of lives saved.
This is the first of a two-part series.

Aug 11: Getting Started with Managed Intake (this webinar)
Oct 1: Enhancing Your Managed Intake Process

The 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.

Presenters:

Dr. 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, corporate 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.
A 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.
It 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.
