SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/31/26 - More Than a Pet: Integrating the Human-Animal Bond into Ethical Social Work Practice - Center for Pet Family Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Pets play a critical role in the lives\, safety\, and well-being of many social work clients. In practice settings\, such as housing\, child welfare\, aging services\, behavioral health\, and interpersonal violence\, client decisions and outcomes are frequently influenced by their relationships with their pets. When pets are not considered\, service plans may unintentionally create barriers to care\, safety\, and stability. \nThis Social Work Month webinar is designed to inform social workers about why pets must be recognized as part of the client system. Grounded in a One Health framework\, this session will examine how the human–animal bond influences client engagement\, risk\, and access to services\, and why pet-inclusive practice is essential for ethical\, effective social work. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://tiny.utk.edu/March2026Webinar

SUMMARY:Online Event - 4/2/26 - Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection: Creating a Foster-Centric Medical Clinic - Maddie's Fund
DESCRIPTION:In this discussion\, we will review how animal shelters can shift from a kennel-centric medical model to a foster-centric clinic that effectively supports animals living in foster homes. As more shelters place 50% or more of animals in foster care\, clinics must adapt their infrastructure\, staffing\, communication\, and workflows to serve both people and pets. The discussion emphasizes guiding principles such as prioritizing quality of life\, valuing foster caregivers as essential partners\, transparency in decision-making\, and treating foster care as a core organizational function. \nGuest Speaker:\nJordana Moerbe\, Director of Lifesaving Partnerships and Medical Care at Austin Pets Alive! \nAbout Maddie’s Monthly Foster Connection:\nJoin us on the first Thursday of every month to discuss successful foster innovations and programs\, collaborate with others in the field\, answer questions and talk through complex foster-related issues. \nWho should join: Foster managers\, coordinators\, volunteers and any staff who are interested in learning about what’s working in foster programs. \nYou only need to register once for all meetings: https://maddies.fund/MonthlyFosterRegistration \nCan’t attend live?  Register anyway and you will get a link to the recording within a day or two after each meeting. \nAll recordings and resources shared during the webcast will also be available in the Maddie’s Monthly Foster Connection group on Maddie’s Pet Forum https://maddies.fund/monthlyfosterconnectionMPF \nMaddie’s Fund does not share registration information. \nThe opinions expressed by webinar presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Maddie’s Fund. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://maddies.fund/MonthlyFosterRegistration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/2/26 - Dealing with Over-the-Top Behavior: A Practical Tool-Kit - FDSA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Over-excited\, over-the-top\, out-of-control… Does this sound like a dog you know? \nIf so\, they probably have over-arousal issues! Over-arousal can be a factor in many different behavior issues in dogs*\, from hyperactivity to aggression. Teaching animals how to handle arousal can change their lives – and ours – for the better. \n*NOTE: The concepts in this webinar apply to species other than dogs\, too! \nIn this webinar\, we will explore a range of tools for helping the over-aroused animal in your life. Topics covered include arousal and how it affects behavior\, determining which “problem” behaviors relate to over-arousal (and which probably don’t)\, training games you can use to help the animals in your life learn to manage their arousal levels\, and more. \nWhether you want to teach your dog better manners around guests or are desperately trying to avoid a repeat of that bite to the mailman\, this webinar is for you! \nPresenter: Irith Bloom \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/self-study/webinars
