Foreword

      The field of applied shelter animal welfare is undergoing rapid change, and it is an exciting time to witness the progress. Since we edited the first edition of Animal Behavior for Shelter Veterinarians and Staff, several developments drove rapid advancement in the field. In 2015, the first shelter medicine veterinary specialists were certified while we were writing the first edition. Once published, that textbook became required reading for their certification program. Those specialists, along with other scientists, have greatly expanded the literature on applied behavioral health of dogs and cats since then. Additionally, shelters are changing. The number of dogs and cats entering shelters continues to decline, and dogs and cats receiving behavioral interventions have increased. This is likely due to a shift in the population of animals coming into shelters, an increase in available resources (kennel space, staff, etc.) to support that population, as well as what you will see in this textbook: a growing sophistication of programs and processes to support the behavioral health of the shelter population.

      The editors in this edition bring incredible depth and expertise to this book. All four editors have decades of experience working in animal welfare. Dr. Brian DiGangi is the Senior Director of Shelter Medicine at the ASPCA. Being dual board certified in Canine and Feline Practice and Shelter Medicine Practice allows him to bring a unique perspective and deep expertise to this body of work. Dr. Victoria Cussen is a Certified Applied Animal
