The Zoe Shelter Scholarship
The Zoe Shelter Scholarships will be awarded annually for $199 (the special course tuition price for October only). The Zoe Shelter Scholarship committee, in conjunction with Dr. White, will select four shelters that demonstrate a commitment to improving the training and enrichment of the animals in their care.
The scholarships are named in honor of Dr. White’s Rhodesian ridgeback, Zoe, who passed away from heart failure at the age of 10. Through these scholarships, Zoe’s memory will live on by helping shelters enrich the lives of the animals in their care and help them find their forever homes.
Thanks to a generous donation from course instructor Steve Benjamin, six recipients will be awarded scholarships in 2026.
The scholarship application deadline has passed; stay tuned for the recipient announcement later this month.
ABOUT THE SHELTER TRAINING & ENRICHMENT COURSE
This on-demand course will be invaluable for shelter staff, volunteers, managers, or trainers who want to help improve the quality of life for animals living in a shelter.
In this course, you will learn to set up and maintain a complete in-shelter training and enrichment program for dogs and cats that will increase enrichment and reduce stress. You will also learn the basics of clicker training and cueing, how to read canine and feline emotional signals, how to alleviate nuisance behaviors like barking and jumping up, how to help shy animals, how to implement dozens of ideas for enrichment on a shoestring budget, and more.
