Spay/neuter has been intricately woven into the fabric of animal lifesaving for more than three decades. And then suddenly, COVID-19 challenged every aspect of daily life and shelter operations, rewriting the book on what essential services are.
We’re told to be #SaferAtHome to avoid overloading the healthcare system and that every exception to social distancing decreases its efficacy. What does that mean for spay/neuter programs?
In this recorded webinar, you’ll hear the latest national guidance on the role of spay/neuter during the pandemic and how programs are navigating these unprecedented times.
Presenters are:
Dr. Julie Levy, Fran Marino Endowed Professor of Shelter Medicine Education, Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at UF
Aimee St. Arnaud, Director of National Veterinary Programs, Best Friends Animal Society
Sharon Harvey, President and CEO, Cleveland Animal Protective League
Dr. Staci Cannon, Medical Director, Nashville Animal Care and Control
