SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/21/21 - Preserving the Bond: the Veterinarian’s Role in Pre-Empting Animal Cruelty - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:When a low-income client presents a severely neglected animal to a veterinarian for treatment\, the doctor faces a difficult conundrum: is it their duty to protect the animal from continued neglect\, or is it their duty to help the person who may be struggling financially to care for their animal? In states where veterinary reporting of animal cruelty is mandatory\, the stress this ethical dilemma can put on a veterinarian is significant. Throughout this webinar\, the presenters will discuss the veterinarian’s role in both preserving the human-animal bond and addressing animal cruelty resulting from poverty. \n  \nWebinars in this Series with the ALDF include:\n\nThe Status of Animals in Criminal Animal Cruelty Cases\nOct 29: Understanding Wildlife Animal Cruelty \nJan 21\, 2021:  Preserving the Bond: the Veterinarian’s Role in Pre-Empting Animal Cruelty (this webinar)\nApril 1: When the Evidence Needs a Home: Pre-Conviction Forfeiture\nJuly 15: Prosecuting Farmed Animal Cruelty\n\n  \nOr click here to view and register for other upcoming NACA  webinars on the JCH Platform. \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  \nFounded in 1979\, the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s mission is to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. The Animal Legal Defense Fund accomplishes this mission by filing high-impact lawsuits to protect animals from harm\, providing free legal assistance and training to prosecutors to assure that animal abusers are held accountable for their crimes\, supporting tough animal protection legislation and fighting legislation harmful to animals\, and providing resources and opportunities to law students and professionals to advance the emerging field of animal law. \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\nPresenters:\nDr. Kris Otteman brings 34 years of veterinary and leadership experience to her current role as Senior Advisor to the Oregon Humane Society and Veterinary Leadership and Forensics Expert. She is also a courtesy faculty member for Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine and a board-certified specialist\, ABVP Shelter Medicine\, and a Certified Animal Welfare Administrator. \nAs a member of the senior leadership team at OHS for 14 years\, she lead the development of the Shelter Medical Services including the teaching program for Oregon State University\, College of Veterinary Medicine\, and for Veterinary Forensics Services. \nThe OHS Animal Medical Learning Center\, the nation’s first shelter teaching hospital\, cares for over 12\,000 shelter pets annually\, provides over 5\,000 low-income spay-neuter\, and wellness services\, and houses a comprehensive veterinary forensic team posed to provide onsite or field services. \nAs co-founder of Banfield\, The Pet Hospital\, her background also includes seven years in a mixed animal practice in southern Oregon. Her broad experience at Banfield included executive leadership and management as well as a strategic partnership with PetSmart Charities on national fundraising and adoption initiatives. She has served on the board for Cat Adoption Team\, as a trustee of Banfield Charitable Trust\, and has been a member of the Oregon Veterinary Medical Licensing Board. Dr. Otteman is a Charter Member of the International Veterinary Forensic Sciences Association\, served on the National Shelter Medicine Organizing committee\, and most recently was awarded the OSU/CVM Alumni Fellow award for her work in the profession that has advanced and improved veterinary education and the partnerships between animal welfare and veterinary professionals. \n\n  \nLinda Fielder has over 20 years of experience as an animal welfare specialist\, 15 of which were spent at the Oregon Humane Society. As Director of Shelter Medicine and Humane Investigations there\, Linda oversaw every aspect of animal cruelty cases from the point they were first reported through the victim animals’ recovery and rehoming. A Certified Animal Welfare Administrator and a Certified Property and Evidence Specialist\, Linda’s expertise in veterinary medicine and humane care and treatment of animals combined with her understanding of evidence collection and handling\, resulted in successful large scale criminal seizures involving livestock\, dog breeders\, fighting animals and animal hoarding scenarios. She has extensive experience in developing and implementing procedures that preserve both the wellbeing of the animals and the integrity of the criminal case. \nIn addition to supervising a fully operational 12\,000 square foot veterinary teaching hospital and a law enforcement division with statewide jurisdiction\, Linda also conceptualized and oversaw OHS’ Emergency Animal Sheltering certification program\, one of the first in the country\, which enabled staff and volunteers to respond nationwide to natural disasters and large scale cruelty cases. She created the annual Victim to Verdict conference which was the first in the region to bring together multi-disciplinary players in animal cruelty cases for training. \nLinda has trained veterinarians\, prosecutors\, and law enforcement professionals from across the globe in crime scene processing\, large-scale seizures\, and link between animal cruelty and human violence. \n  \nSenior Staff Attorney Emily Lewis works directly with law enforcement agencies\, prosecutors and rescue groups providing direction and support for all aspects of criminal animal cruelty investigation and prosecution.  She supports front-line responders by training and consulting on search warrant drafting\, evidence collection and scene processing best practices. \nEmily joined the Animal Legal Defense Fund after serving as staff attorney for the Oregon Humane Society Humane Law Enforcement Division\, where she directly participated in hundreds of animal cruelty investigations\, including the raid of a massive animal-fighting compound\, cases involving large-scale neglect of livestock\, and all manner of  puppy mill and animal hoarder scenarios. It is this firsthand experience that has given her such a deep understanding of animal cruelty casework and prosecution. At the Capital\, Emily was integral in the passage of a number of important animal protection bills including stricter laws prohibiting animal fighting\, oversight of animal rescue entities\, the Humane Agent Bill\, increased cross reporting\, and strengthening of pre-trial remedies available to animal care agencies or individuals. Emily’s work on these bills  — along with her implementation of the first legal internship program at the humane society and her support and training of agency officers\, staff and veterinarians — contributed to the rise of the Oregon Humane Society as a national leader in the field of animal cruelty investigation and veterinary forensics\, in particular. She has presented nationally and internationally on the importance of the veterinarian’s role in recognizing\, reporting and responding to animal neglect and abuse. \nEmily holds a JD and Master of Studies in Environmental Law (MSEL) from Vermont Law School\, where she graduated with honors and was awarded the Academic Excellence Award  in both Torts and Environmental Ethics. She earned a B.A. in Environmental Ethics & Policy and was awarded the Arthur Schoenfeldt Environmental Ethics and Policy Award from the University of Portland. She is a two time winner of Spot Magazine’s “Top Dog: Attorney” award (2014 and 2016). \nEmily is passionate about her role as a voice for animals and aiding in the pursuit of justice on their behalf. \nBased in Portland\, Ore.\, Emily lives with her rescued Great Dane\, Whiskey. She enjoys running\, live music\, visiting the Pacific Ocean coastline\, and spends time on her weekends volunteering at the Family Dogs New Life Shelter. \n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/preserving-the-bond-and-preventing-cruelty-the-veterinarians-role/

For fundraising\, and specifically animal welfare fundraising\, this year presented both a dose of reality and a strategic opportunity.  Many animal welfare organizations saw an increase in the demand for their services\, an increase in their level of recognition in the community and an increase in their fundraising.  For others\, the demand and recognition increased while the fundraising did not. \nEither way\, during this webinar we will share insight and thoughts on how 2021 may shape up and provide you tools and strategies to retain your 2020 donors while also projecting fundraising revenue in 2021.  Participants will leave the webinar with a formula to forecast revenue as well as applicable strategies to increase individual and corporate support in 2021. \nThis webinar is geared towards animal welfare professionals who seek to sustain or increase the current level of fundraising at their organization. \nThis live and recorded program is approved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit and pending approval for CFRE. \n  \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/products/12121-beyond-covid-planning-and-forecasting-your-2021-fundraising-revenue

SUMMARY:CASCAR Zoom Call for California Shelters - 1/21/21 - How LA County Launched Managed Intake - CASCAR - UC Davis KSMP
DESCRIPTION:LA County had already begun discussing a strategic rollout of Managed Intake\, but Covid came along and forced so many of our hands. Last spring\, seemingly overnight\, Managed Intake was launched countywide at all seven Animal Care Centers in LA County. While there wasn’t time for the communication or implementation runway they had hoped for\, the team had already done their research\, knew a streamlined process served more animals and people\, and they were committed to their decision. Come hear about how they did it—the challenges\, surprises\, and the celebrations—and how they are going all-in on a larger plan for Managed Sheltering. \nCASCAR room link: https://sheltermedicine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJQtdO-srDItyMz7xy-ZsncbcFa6s8kKZg\n  \n

DESCRIPTION:This seminar is open to veterinarians\, veterinary technicians\, veterinary hospital staff\, and veterinary students only. \n\nCourse Description\nA Fresh Look at the Management of Osteoarthritis in Dogs\nOsteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects dogs\, most often because of a handful of orthopedic diseases. Unfortunately\, there is little standardization in the detection\, staging\, and management of OA. 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/18/21 - The New Normal: Spay/Neuter by Five Months of Age - National Kitten Coalition
DESCRIPTION:The National Kitten Coalition is excited to host Dr. Philip Bushby and Esther Mechler from the Feline Fix by Five program of Marian’s Dream to present on sterilizing kittens by five months of age. \nThere is confusion in the general public and private veterinary community about the optimum time to spay/neuter felines. 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

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
