    Webinar – 5/11/21 – Pet Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters: Creating a pet-friendly program that works for your community – NACA/Justice Clearinghouse

    Are you ready to take a deeper dive and learn how to create a program to help domestic violence survivors and their pets find safety and healing together? This webinar will focus on overcoming barriers to creating pet-friendly programs by focusing on collaboration and thoughtful program planning. We’ll discuss fundraising, construction, and policies and procedures for both on-site and off-site programs, and attendees will leave with concrete next steps. This webinar is intended for domestic violence and animal shelter representatives, veterinarians, and anyone else interested in supporting a pet-friendly program in their community.

     


     

    The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) was formed in 1978 for the express purpose of assisting its members to perform their duties in a professional manner. We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. NACA’s purpose is to preserve the Human/Animal Bond by insisting on responsible animal ownership.

     

     

    This webinar was pre-approved for 1 CEU credit by the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP)® and the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP).  Founded in 1975, the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) is the oldest national victim assistance organization of its type in the United States and is the recognized leader in victim advocacy, education and credentialing.  To learn more about NOVA, visit trynova.org.
