SUMMARY:Online Event - 7/25/22 to 8/1/22 - Return to Home Challenge Registration Period - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, the Return to Home Challenge is simple. Find a pet? Get it home. That home might be a cozy apartment\, a house with a big yard or\, if you’re a community cat\, an abandoned lot. \nFor the month of October\, 17 national organizations are inviting animal shelters and rescue organizations who handle lost/stray/at-large dogs and cats to elevate Return to Home (RTH) by creating a culture of return to home within their organization and community. In just 31 days\, your organization can create or expand inclusive and diverse new programs or practices to make it easier for your community to help a lost pet or find a pet they have lost\, and ultimately keep families together. Simple practices like microchipping\, making information about lost pets easily accessible on your website and letting the community know what they should do if they find a cat can go a long way in keeping pets out of the shelter and getting them back into their homes. \nAlong with saving time\, resources and shelter space to help those pets who really need it\, you’ll have a chance at the $300\,000 in grant prizes\, thanks to Maddie’s Fund\, Michelson Found Animals Foundation and Petco Love. \nAs with the previous Challenges\, there will be plenty of help along the way. Resources from town halls\, standard operating protocols\, partnering with local businesses\, creating flyers\, photography tips and website best practices will be available. Additionally\, four Zoom Huddles will be held with a diverse line-up of RTH experts. These Zoom events will bring you together with your peers who are successfully implementing RTH practices to share how they do it. \nNote: This year we’ve expanded Return to Home to include the Return to Field/Shelter-neuter release (RTF/SNR) category in addition to the Return to Owner category on the Basic Data Matrix. Traditional trap-neuter-return\, while invaluable to your community\, is not included in this Challenge. \nSo\, what do you say? Are you in? We hope so! \nLearn more or register. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://forum.maddiesfund.org/discussion/about-the-return-to-home-challenge#bme5a438b3-3d61-49e8-bb85-6ff62d1c6bcf

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/27/22 - Bio Writing to Build Connection - HeARTs Speak
DESCRIPTION:If photos and video open the door\, then the descriptions and bios that we write for pets are what tend to seal the deal. Pet bios take many forms – most often as social media captions/descriptions or writeups on adoption sites. No matter where these will be seen\, they become an important part of getting potential pet owners to take action and investigate adoption. This presentation will delve into how to use bios to help communicate effectively while also catching attention for long-stay or overlooked pets. \nTopics covered include:\n-How to use photo + video to maximize impact\n-The importance of transparency and honesty in communications\n-Strategies and activities to break through bio-writing boredom\n-Avoiding the trap of stereotyping and proactively fighting misinformation\n-How to shine extra light on long-stay pets \nPresenter: Caitlin Quinn\, Director of Operations at HeARTs Speak\nCaitlin is passionate about working with shelters and rescues to reimagine the way they tell their stories and connect with new audiences. She has served in the animal welfare field since 2008 and early on had the honor of working closely with diverse organizations across the U.S. to maximize resources\, redesign policies\, & find life-changing marketing solutions. In 2015 she got her MPA with a concentration in nonprofit management and in 2021 she began teaching shelter marketing for the University of Florida Master’s in Shelter Medicine program. She currently shares her life with a petite brindle pit bull named Sally. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y9cSCQiGTLuOvHIEVfp4lw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/28/22 - An In-Depth Look at Counter Conditioning - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Feeding a dog in the presence of an eliciting stimulus is often masked as counter conditioning him. When it doesn´t work we label the process as ineffective or assume it’s not the best choice for that particular dog or situation. But the only times counter conditioning doesn’t work is if it’s not counter conditioning\, if it’s not performed correctly\, or if there is some physiological or neurological process inhibiting learning. \nThere are pillars that support a counter conditioning procedure. Novelty\, salience\, contingency\, contiguity and timing are the main ones. Similarly\, there are factors – mainly human error – that hinder the process. In this webinar we will explore those pillars and discuss human errors that make counter conditioning “ineffective”. \nCEUs: PPAB 1.5\, CCPDT 1.5\, IAABC (pending)\, KPA 1.5 \nInstructor: Alexandra Santos \nLearning Objectives \n– Understand the importance and impact of novelty.\n– What is more important? Contiguity\, contingency\, or both?\n– Learn how pre-exposure to the US can make it less effective.\n– Increase US salience while decreasing trigger salience.\n– Learn about trace conditioning\, simultaneous conditioning\, short and long-delay conditioning and when to use them.\n– The role of backward conditioning.\n– Avoid common errors during a counter conditioning procedure.\n– Some practical examples. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4644572
