It was wonderful to attend an in-person conference again! The talks at the ASPCA Cornell Maddie's Fund Shelter Medicine Conference were varied and interesting, with so many having direct applications. The speakers were amazing and so helpful with the many questions from the audience. Seana Dowling-Guyer, MS, CSD's Associate Director, talked about safety net programs to support pet retention and, along with Dr. Sheila Sergurson from Maddie's Fund, gave an update on behavioral research relevant to a shelter environment from the last few years. We look forward to attending next year!
