This course is directed at the more experienced employees of an animal care facility or at students with an extensive background in animal care. The emphasis is on management techniques such as fundraising, managing volunteers, and managing employees. Animal and human-animal relations are investigated in depth, while students focus on activities outside the animal care facility (abuse investigations, injured domestic and wild animals, public education). Students with experience in these areas could proceed directly to AWCP 1710 without taking AWCP 1700. Course modules include animal care, legal issues, human conflict resolution, business management, humane education, managing volunteers, fundraising, and safety in the workplace.
