Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi there!

I would like to  add our podcast as a resource to the Maddie's Fund community. I hope that is okay! I am the director of a rescue (501c3) in Colorado that I founded over 15 years ago. During that time, I became a  mulit- certified professional dog trainer in order to help support the fosters and dogs in our rescue. 

During the pandemic we launched Pod To The Rescue, to share what we had learned with other rescues and shelters, adopters and fosters. We interview world reknowned experts in behavior (Dr Patricia McConnell, Michael Shikashio, Kathy Sdao are just a few of our guests!) and also try to cover topics that are salient to rescues and shelters. 

We believe education is a key component of reducing the shelter pet crisis, especially in our post-pandemic world. We'd  love it you take a listen and share with any one you know who might find our content helpful! The podcast is available on all podcast platforms, as well as on our website.www.podtotherescue.com

 Thanks so much, 

Emily Wolf  KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, FDM

Emily,

I also believe that education is key to animal (and people) welfare.

I recent years with the use of studies and their data many strides have been made--it has drawn me in even more.

Thank you so much for your resource--I will check it out!

Thanks everyone for being so supportive!

I think the more we all do this, the more we realize that education is the foundation for creating successful placements for our companion animals.

I am grateful to be part of such an incredibly community! Thanks everyone!

Hi all;

       I believe there is only value to education IF you have the resources in place to support it.  In my world, there are so many people who know to get their cats spayed/neutered, but it is impossible to support the cost.   So if we are resource limited- I really do think we have plenty of folks who need access to subsidized  s/n care.

     We need to make sure we don't have multiple organizations doubling "education"- that is expensive and wasteful.  Those $'s can go into scaling and supporting the incredible stress we are feeling at the veterinary level right now. 

      Just my opinion we need to be very careful and strategic about how we use our funds in our communities.  

Thanks, Stacy

Stacy,

I have to agree.  We can "educate and inform" the public , but without resources for spay and neuter, it does no good.  In our city, there are not enough affordable clinic spots for cats and dogs for the people who want their pets sterilized.    Perhaps educating and informing the city leaders and community leaders with access to funding and infrastructure would be a more inportant focus for our efforts.  I believe that our city leaders do not realize what the problem is, and all the while, organizations like all of ours continue to subsidize spay and neuter, as well as placement of these animals in our cities.   Perhaps there should be more  with skin in the game at the local and state government level.
