Join Don’t Forget the Pets for a powerful lineup of webinars exploring the critical connections between animal welfare, family violence, housing rights, and healthcare innovation.
On March 26, Protecting All Victims: How the Law Addresses Animal Abuse, Family Safety, and Professional Reporting features experts from the Animal Legal Defense Fund examining the well-documented link between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence. Learn how state and territorial laws are designed to protect both animals and vulnerable people, and how professionals can play a vital role through mandatory reporting of suspected abuse and neglect.
On April 30, One Health, Two Patients: The Human-Animal Bond in Homeless Health Services highlights the groundbreaking One Health Clinic model. Discover how integrated human and veterinary care improves healthcare access for people experiencing homelessness and how this innovative model can be adapted for your own community.
Uncover the key distinctions that separate emotional support animals from service animals on May 21: The California Civil Rights Department will explore access to housing in their presentation, Fair Housing and Assistance Animals. You can get answers to questions related to lease termination, reasonable accommodation requests, and breed restrictions.
Finally, on June 10, join Alexandra House for Fundraising and Storytelling for Pet-Safe Shelters, to explore how data, donor strategy, partnerships, and compelling storytelling can combine to turn an idea into meaningful impact. We’ll discover how listening closely to community needs laid the foundation, and how a strategic fundraising plan helped bring the vision to life.
Together, these timely sessions offer practical tools and forward-thinking solutions to support communities and keep animals with their families.
