Webinar - 4/26/22 - The Future Is Four: The Right Time - Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
2022-04-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
The Right Time has two dimensions: there’s the right time for an animal to come into the shelter (could be right now, at a scheduled time in the future, or maybe never!), and then there are right times once the animal is admitted (holding periods and length of stay, for example). Time is our most valuable resource, and our most interconnected. Whether we’re talking about the hours our shelter is open or the demands on our staff time, the system we build directly impacts the time an animal spends in our shelter. In this webinar, Drs. Cynthia (Cindi) Delany and Kate Hurley will outline strategies for streamlining tasks, reducing length of stay, capturing lost resources, and making the most of the resources you have.
This webinar is part 2 of “The Future Is Four: The Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time to the Right Outcome Right Place” series. Register once for these four sessions, which will be recorded.
Presenters
Kate Hurley DVM, MPVM, Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
Dr. Kate Hurley is the founding director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program and co-founder of the Million Cat Challenge, a shelter-based initiative to save the lives of one million more cats in five years. Over 1,500 shelters more than tripled that goal, between them saving over three million cats against their own baseline before joining the challenge.
Hurley’s research interests include welfare of confined dogs and cats, humane and effective strategies to manage community cats, and infectious disease prevention. She will always love shelter work because it has the potential to improve the lives of so many animals and the people who work so hard to care for them.
Dr. Cindi Delany, Director of Online Learning, Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge
With an undergraduate degree in Business/Economics from UCLA and a DVM from UC Davis, Dr. Cindi Delany has practiced emergency medicine, animal shelter medicine and shelter outreach for more than 20 years.
Her focus with the Koret Shelter Medicine Program’s animal shelter outreach and industry speaking activities is on programs targeted to improve animal outcomes, provide environmental enrichment for shelter animals, explore shelter animal behavior and training, improve shelter data collection and analysis, and maximize operational efficiencies in a limited resource environment.
Dr. Delany is now taking her passion and expertise for sharing information and learnings about maximizing animal shelter success to the next level as the Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge Director of Online Learning at the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program.

Learn how to get more of the right things done in this time blocking and energy management workshop!
Let’s be clear about one thing, if you don’t control your schedule — it will control you. As a small shop (or big shop), it’s crucial to understand when you need to show up as your best self and then make the most of your time because we know that time is your most valuable asset.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:

3 core areas of time management: time blocking, prioritization & calendar management
3 ways to think about prioritization & mapping strategies for better efficiency

You can expect to be reminded of some things you already know, learn a few things you didn’t know, and work through some of your toughest time management hurdles together.
Speaker: Rachel Bearbower (she/her), Founder + CEO of Small Shop Strategies
