There are many pets who have trouble coping with certain situations or the world around them. These pets may be extremely anxious, act in an aggressive manner or develop compulsive behaviors. It is essential to evaluate the emotional contributions to behaviors in order to make a treatment plan that allows the pet to cope with life’s stressors.
Have you ever wondered what a veterinary behaviorist does or why a pet would need to consult with one? Veterinary Behaviorists are licensed veterinarians that have achieved board-certification in the specialty of Veterinary Behavior. Pets of all types and ages may need help and we want you to know when to get them additional behavior assistance. This presentation will be beneficial for veterinarians, trainers, behavior consultants and many other pet professionals who work with a variety of animals. Pet guardians may also find this information useful while pursuing help for pets displaying behavioral and emotional issues.

Volunteers and those who lead them are critical to the lifesaving work of animal shelters nationwide. The last few months have drastically changed how most organizations engage volunteers. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the country, animal shelters quickly shifted operations, moving animals into foster and—in most cases—asking the majority of volunteers to stay home. Many areas are now seeing increasing coronavirus infection rates as states struggle to move responsibly through various stages of re-opening.
What does all this mean for the future of volunteers in sheltering? What role do volunteers play in ensuring our shelters are resilient and sustainable during these challenging times? How can volunteers help to ensure we re-emerge stronger than ever post Covid-19? Despite the difficulties ahead, there is significant opportunity to harness volunteer energy to strengthen shelters in meeting their lifesaving missions and better serve the animals and people in our communities.
We invite leaders of volunteers, shelter managers, executive directors and others to join us for a series of robust discussions and breakout groups, to explore questions such as:
