“Adequate training is required to ensure humane animal care, as well as staff and public safety (ILAR 1996). This includes allocating time and resources for employees and volunteers to complete training prior to undertaking responsibility for tasks. The skills, knowledge and training to accomplish each task must be successfully demonstrated before proficiency is assumed. Continuing education should be provided in order to maintain and improve skills. Documentation of training should be maintained.”
This is not from me, this is from the Guidelines for Standard of Cares in Animal Shelters edited in 2010 by the Association of Shelter Veterinarian (click here to visit their website). As one of our partner, you have access to our shelter dedicated education program. Wondering whether to use it or not for your staff? Here are 5 good reasons !
–> We have education modules discussing all the main challenges in shelters: re-abandon, infectious diseases, hygiene, … , in dogs and cats (download the list of available topics here). Want something different? We can personalize it according to your needs!
–> We are experts in animal communities, driven by passion and willing to share what we learned during the years. You can only benefit from our experience.
