Just a head's up on some emergency sheltering for companion animals training coming up, sponsored by
American Humane. There will be two Colorado classes, one in Durango from February 27-28, 2010, and one in Castle Rock, March 13-14, 2010. The classes are designed to help students develop skills to plan for and implement emergency sheltering for companion animals during or after a disaster, whether at the local or national level. The
Emergency Shelter for Companion Animals Course Announcement page indicates that the class is recommended for disaster response professionals, emergency medical services personnel, firefighters, animal shelter staff, animal control officers, vets, vet techs, animal handlers/trainers and Red Cross volunteers. Check the
Emergency Shelter for Companion Animals Course Announcement for more info on the course and for links to the registration form.
