DAS Things to Know Newsletter - January 18, 2022
If you were unable to attend any of the mandatory harassment trainings, please email Marcialyn to let her know. There is a makeup session on Wednesday, January 26.
01/24/22:
Guest Host: Javier Gutierrez, Animal Control Manager, Downey Care Center, County of Los Angeles
Session One: Co-Sheltering and Animal Welfare Program (CSAW) at GRACE Marketplace - Gainesville, FL Recognizing that the human-animal bond is valuable and worth preserving through times of homelessness, GRACE has become the first "animal-friendly" low-barrier homeless shelter in the region, accepting guests with Service Animals, Emotional Support Animals and Companion Animals.
Session Two: The idea of managed intake remains a misunderstood and therefore controversial issue in some communities. This has furthered the divide between shelters and rescue groups who feel unfairly overburdened by a shelter that does not accept a particular pet or category of pets. Join Dr. Sara Pizano from Team Shelter USA as she helps us unpack this very important topic.
