Hi everyone!
My name is Kayla Wade, and I'm thrilled to be joining as your Community Conversations co-host for the month of February. I've worked at the Humane Society of Charlotte for 5 years now, developing shelter behavior programs and training shelter and community dogs. We have a population of about 900,000 people in Charlotte and with a lot of people comes a lot of pets, so I've stayed busy! As much as I love dogs, I also have a great fondness for cats and adopted the first kitten I've ever fostered about 4 years ago, naming her Murphy (any Interstellar fans?).
We have a wonderful line up of Conversations this month, including:
✅ Expand Spay and Neuter with MASH
✅ Managing the Unknown: Uncertainty, Behavior, and Better Outcomes in Animal Welfare
One thing I've learned is you never stop learning in this field so I can't wait to connect with all of you, hear your insights, and keep the conversation flowing. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to explore this month, feel free to drop them here!
See you on the calls!
