Agenda
Next Shelter and Rescue Support call will be on Monday, January 10, 2022
- Welcome – Bobby Mann bobby.mann@americanpetsalive.org
- QOTD: What is the most significant win that happened in your org or to you or in animal welfare in general in 2021?
- NO NEED TO RE-REGISTER FOR THESE CALLS FOR 2022
- Mary's Monday Motivation On Maddie’s Pet Forum you can post about supporting each other in the aftermath of the tornadoes – add your needs and sharing resources.
- Tornado Outbreak (AR, IL, KY, MS, MO, TN) - Post Your Needs and Resources on Maddie’s Pet Forum: https://maddies.fund/TornadoNeedsAndResources
- Dr. Laurie Peek reminds us that “Humans are animals, too.” As we go into a new year, we can think about more and different ways that we show the love and tolerance we have for our 4-legged love bugs to those 2-legged people we interact with on a daily basis. Let’s figure out ways we can best serve both ends of the leash to make a better life for the planet.
- Ms. (Shakela) Brown gave me one of my most favorite sayings in 2020: “We need to respect people where they are.”
- You have all been the silver lining this year for all of us. Major thanks!
- National Updates
Session One
As we move to a community focused sheltering model, language is more important than ever. Join @Shakela Brown (Humane Rescue Alliance) and @Lily Amato (Atlanta Humane Society) as they discuss the difference between community engagement vs community outreach and how the language we use impacts our work.

Thanks in part to funding from a Rachael Ray No-Kill Excellence grant, SICSA recently completed a Safe Pets Virtual Apprenticeship with 13 participating organizations from around the United States, including ARL of Iowa, Muddy Paws Rescue, and Gateway Pet Guardians. The apprenticeship provided the foundation needed for an animal shelter or rescue to launch a safety net-type program that affords temporary housing for pets whose owners are in crisis. Participants received sample program request forms and contracts, ideas for potential funders and partners, and example program budgets for grants. This session will provide an overview of the apprenticeship, the opportunity to hear directly from organizations that are moving forward to create similar programs for their communities, and the chance to dialogue about challenges and successes.
