Last Thursday nearly 20 local animal rescuers and shelter staff members attended our 4th Top Dog Speaker Series event. Jenny Womack, a family law attorney at Palmer & Womack, and co-chair of the Dallas Association of Young Lawyer's Animal Welfare Committee donated her time to discuss Texas' Charity Raffle Laws (not your ordinary state laws!) and recommended language for adoption contracts, foster contracts, and volunteer agreements. Afterward everyone headed home to review and update their documents and agreed to share the "best of" with others through our Rescue Resources forum!
At CFL we are very proud to be helping dedicated, compassionate, professional organizations continue to carry on the wonderful work they do - day in and day out!
Next month, Jerry Martin from the City of Dallas Office of Emergency Management will be teaching rescuers the Incident Command System - a FEMA/DHS/NIMS management system used by first responders in disasters. This training will allow experienced animal handlers and group representatives to assist in future disasters in an effort to save pets as well as people!
