SUMMARY:Online Event - 10/15/24 - All Call: Big Dog Solutions for Big Dog Populations - California for All Animals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next All Call on October 15! Director of Placement Izzy Nidetz will share Pasadena Humane’s approach to their large dog placement programs. \nAbout the Presentation: \nLarge dogs often face significant challenges in finding homes\, leading to longer stays in shelters and increased pressure on kennel space. To address this\, we must explore innovative strategies that set both dogs and people up for success. How can we foster greater community involvement and encourage potential adopters to give big dogs a chance? \nWe will explore proven solutions for getting large dogs into foster and adoptive homes through creative\, results-driven programs. Topics will include Pasadena Humane’s Adoption Trial Program\, Field Trip and Sleepover Programs\, and unique events that have successfully engaged the public. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for implementing or enhancing similar programs to improve outcomes for large dogs in their own communities. \nThe All Call is a twice-monthly\, California community call for animal well-being professionals that occurs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community\, programs that keep pets with their people\, industry trends\, research studies\, as well as the hard stuff\, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations\, storytelling\, open discussion\, and Q&A time. \nThe All Call is hosted by California for All co-leaders Allison Cardona and Nadia Oseguera and is enriched by rotating facilitators. You only need to register one time. Calls are sometimes recorded; recap emails with supplemental resources are sent post-call. \nRegister here: https://tinyurl.com/all-call

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/17/24 - Better Outcomes: Harnessing Narrative Change to Transform Animal Welfare - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Pets rely on people\, making human connections crucial to improving their lives. The problem is our stories and messages often undermine our best efforts. For decades mainstream narratives have been villainizing\, blaming\, and shaming pet owners\, community members\, and other animal welfare advocates. Stories and messages have failed to describe the root causes of issues. The result is that precious energy and resources go to faulty strategies and infighting. Pet families are separated\, and animals go without the care they need. In this webinar we explore how better stories and messages can help us overcome these challenges and help us focus on doing our best work for pets and people together. \nPresenter:  \nHanna Lentz\, Executive Director\nSupporting People and Animal Relationships for Change (SPARC) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OoMWeOsuSYia2DrFCVvijw#/registration
