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.

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/3/25 - California Adopt-a-Pet Day: Strategies for Success! - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:This year’s California Adopt-a-Pet Day will take place on Saturday\, June 7th\, and the ASPCA will once again\, be providing grants to underwrite the waived adoption fees. Last year’s event was a huge success\, with 3\,609 adoptions\, and for 2025 we have a new goal of finding loving homes for 5\,000 dogs\, cats\, horses\, and other small animals. As the media outreach and paid advertising drive more adopters to your door\, we want to help you prepare and maximize this opportunity to send as many pets home as possible. Join us for this informative session where leaders from Ventura County Animal Services and Woods Humane Society will share their strategies for success. You’ll hear how they do their promotions\, ramp up volunteer support\, prepare staff\, orchestrate the large number of adoptions\, and ensure that as many animals as possible are ready to go. You’ll also learn about the great resources available to assist by our promotions expert from the ASPCA. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MuN-IPMEQYa-MWepnd9OCw#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/3/25 - Translating Adopters Welcome into other Shelter Programs - Humane World for Animals

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/3/25 - Systems Change and Collaboration to Improve Animal Welfare - Life of Riley
