What happens when pets are posted online for home-to-home rehoming? NEW open access research by @LexisHLy and @dr_prot investigates predictors of successful diversion away from shelters through an online self-rehoming platform https://t.co/2VdrJFX3Hf #ubcAWPcompanion
Can we use computer vision to monitor animals in a shelter? Hi 👋 I am Bailey, a PhD student @ubcAWP. For a recent study, we needed a new way to track behaviour of similar-looking cats in real-time, so we set out to find a solution! #AnimBehav2023 @asab_tweets @AnimBehSociety
@KEleanorx Thank you! Aside from adding a camera to the cage, there was nothing we added that wasn’t already a part of their care. The cats often wore these paper veterinary ID collars with their names written on them to tell them apart, so we just added code stickers to them as well!
Have you ever rehomed a pet? @ubcAWP researchers are investigating the emotional impact of pet rehoming. See eligibility in image.

@andrewjjmac@dr_prot @beneagan @SciReports@zooentropy Thank you very much! I agree your ideas are exactly the type of thing I would love to use this approach for. Your great behavioural barcodes look quite a bit like our output, and it was very interesting & inspiring to learn about the type of analysis you conducted with them!
