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:Online Course - Enrollment open 8/1/22 to 8/20/22 - Winter Cohort 2022 - Shelter Playgroup Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Program overview:  This series of educational modules will prepare participants to manage playgroups using the LIMA ethical standard and use conspecific interactions for behavior modification. \nCohort structure: Learners will be invited to join a cohort that will meet virtually for four months via the Litmos LMS platform.  Each cohort will be invited to twice-monthly (bi-weekly) hour-long\, live meetings via Zoom webinar so that questions can be answered live.  The bi-weekly meetings will feature video analysis and discussion of relevant topics. \nRegistration process: Individuals interested in joining each cohort must submit an “e-mail of interest” which includes the organization to which you belong to the executive director\, Mara Velez requesting to be added to the upcoming cohort. Each person must login at least twice a month and complete modules in order to continue. \nCompletion timeframe: Learners will be expected to complete one module per week\, which will require 60-90 minutes per week. The program consisting of Foundation and Intermediate modules will be expected to be completed within a four month time-frame. The total seat time per week is estimated to be two to two and a half hours\, which is a combination of reviewing the modules and completing assessments and assignments. \nOther requirements: In order to complete the assignments\, learners must have access to at least two species of animals during the cohort period (e.g.\, dogs\, cats\, rabbits\, birds\, horses). Application of knowledge and demonstration of skill are key components of this educational program. \nCPDT: 36 CEUs | IAABC: 36 CEUs \nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MORE INFORMATION \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.shelterdogplay.org/workshops

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/4/22 - Harmonious Walks: Redefining Loose-Leash Walking - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Dogs who pull like a tank; dogs who play tug with the leash. Sound familiar? Ask any trainer why clients reach out to them for help\, and somewhere in the top three reasons you’ll find “walking on-leash”. It’s such a common problem\, and the simplest solution is actually the most unexpected one. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll cover how to achieve harmonious walks. Attendees will learn how to attain that elusive “loose-leash walking” behaviour in the most enjoyable way. We’ll move away from focusing on the traditional heeling behaviour\, and towards recognizing and meeting dogs’ needs through foundation skills and on-leash games that anyone can do. \n“Harmonious walks” means everyone wins. Happy dogs\, and happy guardians! \nPresenter: Nancy Tucker \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars

SUMMARY:Webinar - 8/5/22 - AlignCare: Program for Pet Health Equity - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:All members of the family deserve access to healthcare\, including the nonhuman members (pets). Health equity means that all family members have the potential to get the care they need. When they don’t receive needed care\, health disparities result. Unfortunately\, more than 1 out of 4 families do not have access to veterinary care. Not having veterinary care threatens the wellbeing of the whole family. \nThe AlignCare system was created to improve access to veterinary care for families currently underserved. It is a community-based collaboration where resources and activities are aligned\, including funds to subsidize the veterinary care for qualified families.  This presentation will describe the societal problem and how AlignCare addresses it. Also\, participants will learn what is required to bring AlignCare to their community. \nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Blackwell\, DVM\, MPH – University of Tennessee\, Knoxville \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_em05H86CQ02KZ-3RaEnjbg
