Webinar – 1/14/26 – Capacity for Care: Setting the Right Target & Finding Tools to Stay There – CalAnimals
CalAnimals Presents: In this practical webinar, Dr. Kate Hurley from the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program will cover the specifics of how to calculate the right target number to maximize life-saving while optimizing animal health and welfare – and staff sanity. Annette Ramirez, Interim General Manager from LAAS, along with members of her team, will share their agency’s experience of going from severe crowding to attaining, and more importantly maintaining, a population pretty close to their Capacity for Care. It’s a pretty inspiring example and we hope it will be a useful one for many shelters facing similar challenges.
