Subject: 10/7 All Call - Meeting Challenges Together: Lessons from Fresno Animal Center's Evolution
Connect with your colleagues at the Cal for All Animals All Call-only two calls left! Central Valley animal welfare organizations and pet owners are meeting shared veterinary challenges with innovation and collaboration to make sure animals get the care they need. Fresno Animal Center Director Alma Torres and her team have built powerful local and regional partnerships-and they're seeing real results.
At the October 7 All Call, Alma and colleagues will walk us through key strategies that have helped their shelter and community navigate difficult times and keep moving forward. You'll learn how they've:
- Established a medical clinic and coordinated with partner organizations to expand spay/neuter access
- Launched new community programs to provide free microchips, vaccines, and pet food
- And reduced barriers through initiatives like fee-waived reclaims and free adoptions to keep and bring more pets and people together.
Bring your questions to the conversation and leave with lessons you can adapt for your own shelter. Register for the All Call.
Find past call resources and recordings, including the recent Multicultural Engagement Community of Practice series, at the Cal for All Animals website.
