    Hello!

     

    Sharing the agenda for the Maddie's  Friday Animal Welfare Leadership Roundup (LINK TO REGISTER)

     

    1/14/22

    Topic One: Caitlin Quinn of HeARTs Speak will unveil the new HeARTs Speak community-focused sheltering tool kit. This first-of-its-kind resource will give you everything you need to explain to your community why animal services organizations work to support the bond between pets and people. This resource is part of a collaboration between HeARTs Speak and HASS and this short presentation will focus on how you can use this in your organization to better communicate with your communities. 

     

    Topic Two: Street-level Insights from Homeless Pet Owners

    Through lessons learned from pet owners on the streets, in junkyards, under highway overpasses, and at pop-up veterinary clinics, Leslie Irvine's research reveals the depth and complexity of the commitment homeless people make to their animals. In this talk, she shares insights relevant for meeting the needs of this underserved population. For more information, see Leslie's book, My Dog Always Eats First: Homeless People and their Animals


    Leslie Irvine is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Animals and Society Certificate Program at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research focuses on the roles of animals in society. In addition to studying homeless people's relationships with their companion animals, Leslie has studied animal welfare in disasters, animal sheltering, animal abuse, animals in popular culture, and the feminization of veterinary medicine.

    • Mary's Motivation - Maddie's Fund Friday Calls Monthly Give-aways! Enter for a chance to win here: https://www.maddiesfund.org/friday-community-conversations-jan22-giveaway.htm
    Mary thanked all of us for coming together these past 23 months – she loves this chance to share every week. She encouraged us to remember that every day we have an opportunity to learn something new and figure out ways to use what we learned the next day.
    If it's snowing where you are, take a snow day – make a snow angel, build a snowman, or just take a break. And if it's not snowing where you are, give yourself the gift of time to take a walk, give your dog a bath – something that is just for you. The beauty of these calls is that everyone is connected to the other person – we are all in the same boat and thankfully, the boat is getting bigger!
