Webinar – 2/24/26 – Hacking the Learning Brain: The Neuroscience of Objective Feedback – PPG (fee applies)

Webinar – 2/25/26 – Rethinking Rabbits: Integrating the New Shelter Housing Guidelines – UC Davis KSMP
UC Davis KSMP Presents: Rabbits are the new kids on the block: Most animal shelters weren’t designed with this sensitive, recently-domesticated species in mind. A shelter stay can spike stress both for bunnies and the teams challenged with meeting their needs. The first-ever Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV) Guidelines for Humane Rabbit Housing in Animal Shelters is here to help. Join Drs. Chumkee Aziz, Zarah Hedge, Sarah Hicks and Jonna Swanson for a conversation on applying these new standards—developed by nearly two dozen rabbit care, facility design and shelter medicine experts—to your everyday shelter scenarios.
