Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to engage all members of our communities. Starting February 18, Partnering for Pets: A Multicultural Community of Practice, is coming to the All Call to strengthen our capacity to do just that.

Are you passionate about increasing adoptions, foster, return to home, and keeping more pets and people together? Do you want to learn and share practical strategies for building relationships with diverse communities? This community is for you!

April 1 Topic: Supporting Kittens and Cats in Their Communities. Register to join us.

At the next session, we’ll be joined by Claudia Otis (Founder and Executive Director, The Little Lion Foundation) for an open discussion on how community cat programming can support kittens and cats as well as the community members who care for them. Add your voice and experience to the conversation, and make sure to invite your community cat program colleagues! If you’ve already registered for the All Call, all you need to do is join the call at 12 p.m. PT.

Through June 3, the All Call will provide a space for learning, sharing, and networking with colleagues dedicated to building stronger connections with all segments of their communities. You’ll hear how California shelters are advancing culturally-responsive programming and building bridges to decrease length of stay and increase positive outcomes for animals, as well as the shelter staff and community members who care for them.

About the All Call

The All Call is a twice-monthly, California community call for animal well-being professionals that occurs on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday. The one-hour call is a dedicated space to share and learn from each other. Popular topics include initiatives that create a more inclusive culture for both staff and community, programs that keep pets with their people, industry trends, research studies, as well as the hard stuff, like what’s not working or what is particularly difficult during times of scarcity. The call is a mix of presentations, storytelling, open discussion, and Q&A time.

The All Call is hosted by California for All team members Allison Cardona, Nadia Oseguera-Ramóna, and Ivy Ruiz, and is enriched by rotating facilitators. You only need to register one time. Calls are sometimes recorded; recap emails with supplemental resources are sent post-call.

Ahora, más que nunca, es esencial que todos los miembros de nuestras comunidades participen. A partir del 18 de febrero, Partnering for Pets: A Multicultural Community of Practice (Colaborando para mascotas: Una comunidad de práctica multicultural), llegará a All Call para reforzar nuestra capacidad de hacer precisamente eso.

Acerca de All Call

March 18 Topic: Fostering Community Support Through Social Work in Animal Sheltering with Monika Khuc, LMFT, WAGS Pet Adoption. Register to join us.

Join the call on March 18 to learn how Monika Khuc, LMFT and Community Support Manager at WAGS Pet Adoption in Westminster, California, helped implement a social work-informed approach to address barriers faced by diverse communities, including the Vietnamese community. By centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging principles, WAGS prioritized the human-animal bond and keeping pets and families together.

This approach ensured culturally sensitive outreach, resource navigation, and tailored support, such as bilingual support, fostering equity and access to vital animal welfare services for all. This ensured all community members, including the Vietnamese community, had equitable access to vital animal welfare services, fostering a sense of belonging and strengthening the human-animal bond across all communities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

At this session, you’ll discover strategies for creating programming that validates and reflects the diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences of community members. This approach addresses barriers that might otherwise separate pets from the people who care for them.
