SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/10/25 - Transforming Perceptions\, Increasing Adoptions: The Future of Shelter Pets in California - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Most Californians say they support pet adoptions from shelters—but the reality doesn’t match their intentions. So\, how do we close this gap and make shelters the first choice for pet seekers? \nJoin us for an exclusive look at CalAnimals’ new statewide advertising campaign designed to shift public perception and drive more pet adoptions. Sasha Howell\, the strategic lead from Off Madison Ave\, will reveal key research findings that uncover the biggest barriers to adoption—and how our campaign is strategically designed to overcome them. \nYou’ll gain insights into: \n\nWhat Californians really think about shelters (and why they hesitate to adopt).\nThe research-backed messaging approach that will reshape public perception.\nHow you can help amplify this campaign and make a lasting impact on pet homelessness.\n\nWith our ad campaign launching soon\, we need the collective power of shelters\, advocates\, and supporters to get this message in front of the right people at the right time. Be part of the movement that’s redefining shelter adoption in California! \nRegister now and be a part of the change! \nWEBSITE LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kP4P4g3pSFS29xPOXedRkg#/registration

Plus gain access to an exclusive Facebook group to network with other cat-focused volunteers and professionals. \nThis workshop is presented by Corinne Bourgoin\, Shelter Operations Supervisor at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(MSPCA)\, and lasts 1.5 hours\, including an optional 15-minute Q&A session.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/13/25 - Maddie’s Insights: Helping the Helpers - Improving Shelter Staff Well-Being - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:Shelters and rescue groups have shown great resilience\, finding innovative ways to save animals despite major challenges. However\, many workers face burnout and compassion fatigue\, leading some to leave the field. \n\n\n\n\nIn 2023\, Best Friends conducted the largest U.S. survey on shelter staff well-being. Nearly half of respondents reported high compassion satisfaction\, and most plan to stay in their roles. Yet\, over half showed high burnout\, and over 90% had high compassion fatigue\, raising concerns about staff well-being and the sustainability of lifesaving efforts. \nThis presentation will focus on positive solutions and how shelters can learn from veterinary well-being practices to support staff and volunteers. \n\n\n\n\nHave questions or comments about this topic? Engage with our guest speaker on this Maddie’s Pet Forum discussion thread. https://maddies.fund/MIwebcast03132025 \nRegister now: http://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/14/25 - Happy Pills: Teaching Dogs to Swallow Pills/Take Medicine - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:No\, this webinar isn’t about antidepressants. It’s about teaching your dog to swallow pills. Naked pills. This is a core husbandry behavior – a component of cooperative healthcare. Though hiding medication in food or pill-pockets often works\, it can backfire. You might find yourself needing to be ever more creative about what tasty food can disguise the pill. And sometimes\, the bitter taste or weird sensation in the throat will become associated with food\, causing your dog to hesitate when offered any treat or meal. We’ll look at some options for shaping voluntary pill-swallowing\, which is an extension of the “trick” of fluent eating. Kathy’s experience working with zoo animals provides inspiration to share this information with everyone who cares for a dog. \nPresenter: Kathy Sdao \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/teaching-dogs-to-swallow-pills-take-medicine.html
