Trainees must be CERT certified. \nCTSART is a volunteer program organized to help prepare our state for any disasters \ninvolving animals. Our goal is to facilitate a prompt\, effective response to emergencies \ninvolving animals. CTSART missions include deployment of co-located companion animal \nevacuation shelters\, building volunteer networks trained and state certified to assist \nwith animals in need in disasters and public education. \nUpon completion of the two modules\, volunteers will be sworn in to be certified to respond to animals in disaster. Volunteers will work as a team\, under the auspices of a CTSART Regional Leader. \nAfternoon Program: 12:30pm -4:00pm Animal Shelter Training Exercise \nThe training will consist of a short PowerPoint on “how to” set up an animal shelter. It will be followed by a live exercise reviewing the components of animal sheltering including reception\, canine and feline housing and care. The goal is to train volunteers to use standardized forms and protocols wherever an animal shelter is established. \nAll CERT volunteers are welcome. Please pass the email on to interested parties. \nCoffee\, Tea\, and snacks will be provided. \nTrainees are welcome to bring a bag lunch and beverage to enjoy during the training. \nAny current CTSART volunteers are welcome. \nSpace is limited\, so if you plan to attend\, please respond soon with your full name \, cell number\, and indicate if you will be attending the morning\, afternoon\, or both sessions to the following address:\nRegion5CTSART@gmail.com \nThank you\, \nDr. Donna Cobelli & Dr. Shelly Yessenow                                                CTSART Regional Leaders

SUMMARY:Introduction to Pet Pig Care and Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Pigs are smart and interesting animals.  Many people choose to have them as pets\, either outdoors or in their homes.  I have heard them described as “just like dogs\, but with no desire to please you whatsoever.”  That is fairly accurate\, but there is more.  We will touch on their basic medical needs\, common problems\, nutrition\, and some basics of behavior\, to either improve your current relationship with your pig\, or to guide you before deciding to keep a pig as a pet. \nPresented by:Dr Dennis Thibeault\n \nDr Dennis Thibeault received his BS in Biology from Fairfield University and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University in 1994.  He started Green Valley Veterinary Services in Mansfield CT in 2008. He and his team provide mobile veterinary care for farm animals throughout Eastern CT and most of Rhode Island.  Their primary focus is pet and hobby livestock\, and also do home euthanasia for dogs and cats. Dr Thibeault is also certified in Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue.

Uman\, MS DVM\nDr. Charity Uman is the Emergency Department Head at Veterinary Specialists of Connecticut. She is originally from South Florida. After college she moved to Vermont and fell in love with New England.
