    National Shelter Medicine Rounds – 3/9/21 – The POVBR Approach for Behavior Problems in Shelter Animals – Dr. Jeannine Berger – UW and UC Davis Shelter Medicine Programs

    Dr. Jeannine Berger, San Francisco SPCA, VP Rescue and Welfare, will be sharing “The POVBR Approach for Behavior Problems in Shelter Animals.”

    The Problem Oriented Veterinary Medical Record (POVMR) or problem-oriented approach is not new to the practitioner. However, in this lecture we will discuss how it is applied for behavioral health in the shelter environment. Cases will be discussed while the approach will be practiced. With the knowledge presented here, the shelter practitioner can confidently approach behavior problems in shelter animals and design a treatment plan leading to more positive outcomes.

    We hope to see many of you join us for this exciting topic!

    How two savvy volunteers saved over 1,000 cats in one year

    Learn how Lucky Cat Adoptions reinvented their strategy and went from saving just under 300 cats a year to over 1,000.

    Once we stopped judging people and realized that the way we were working was not actually making a big impact, the magic happened. It’s now actually difficult to keep our stores filled because most cats and kittens are adopted within a day or two!
