California for All Animals Presents: In animal welfare, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not just ideals—they are essential components of impactful and sustainable change. However, enacting change is not always easy. Join Jasmin Robinson to explore three strategies to address diversity, equity, and inclusion in the animal welfare profession and discover how prioritizing DEI can strengthen our collective mission to improve the lives of animals and the communities that care for them.

Maddie’s Fund Presents: ​​This presentation equips foster caregivers and adopters with essential knowledge about common infectious diseases in dogs, with a focus on practical tips for prevention and management. Covering topics like parasites, distemper, parvo, leptospirosis, canine infectious respiratory disease complex, rabies, heartworm, and tick-borne diseases, attendees will learn what each disease is, how it spreads, and whether it poses a risk to humans.

Best Friends Presents: Shelter leaders know a budget cut can be the difference between life and death for the animals in their care. In this webinar, we’ll help you navigate these challenges with the tools and knowledge to make a data-driven case for your funding. Using data from shelter management software, Census reports, Shelter Pet Data Alliance, and more, you can present a compelling, fact-based argument for keeping or even increasing the budget you need to continue your lifesaving work.

Fear Free and Elanco Present: Puppies are like sponges, learning how to navigate the world. Unfortunately, as they transition from maternal to vaccine-acquired immunity, they can also “soak up” life-threatening infectious diseases. Join Dr. Meghan Herron, DVM, DACVB, FFCP-V, and Dr. Jason Stull, VMD, MPVM, PhD, DACVPM, on Thursday, February 6, at 8 p.m. ET, for a review of key concepts and practical step-by-step recommendations for safe and effective puppy socialization.
