Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: Join us for a panel discussion featuring Municipal Shelters that have made remarkable strides in lifesaving by thinking outside the box and maximizing their capabilities with limited resources. This webinar is designed to inspire and empower shelters, showing that you don’t need a massive budget to help families keep their pets.

Best Friends Presents: In this webinar we’ll dive into updates in HQHVSN and learn to streamline operations without compromising care. Join Dr. Erin Katribe, DVM, DABVP (Shelter Medicine), and Melanie Lyons, LVT, to discover how to enhance patient safety, patient welfare, and staff well-being, all while maximizing your impact!

JYO Presents: The guided meditations happen every month and typically run 30-45 minutes. All are welcome to these very low-key sessions, with videos on or off, whatever feels most comfortable to you. No speaking is necessary unless you’d like to share at the end of the session.

Life of Riley at Springpoint Presents: LoR’s efforts to eliminate inhumane practices in dog breeding (“puppy mill” practices) connect deeply to our goal of emptying animal shelters and ensuring all dogs find a home. A multitude of solutions are required to achieve these interconnected goals. In this webinar, Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) will show how increased inclusivity in the adoption process can open new homes for shelter dogs and reduce intentional dog breeding.

Best Friends Presents: No matter your resources and staff, you can use what you have to star t reducing length of stay, improving kennel stress, and achieving better outcomes for the pets in your care. Attendees will learn how to define common outcome paths, identify critical flow-through points, and kickstart daily rounds without feeling overwhelmed. With practical, real-world tools and examples, you’ll walk away with the confidence to take your first (or next) step toward more efficient, targeted lifesaving.

CalAnimals Presents: Join us for a powerful conversation about the legal, scientific, and practical foundation for Community Cat Programs (CCPs)—including TNR, RTF, SNR, and TVNR. Panelists Dr. Kate Hurley (UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program), Julianna Tetlow (San Diego Humane Society), and Bruce Wagman (SF SPCA Shelter Policy and Legal Services) will unpack the recent court ruling in favor of the San Diego Humane Society’s CCP, setting a statewide precedent for similar programs.
