Dr. Kate Hurley of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at UC Davis and Dr. Sandra Newbury of the University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program lead this webinar laying out the reasons shelters should be limiting admissions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reserving shelter space for only the animals who truly need it will help protect animals and slow the spread of the coronavirus among humans.
