Spring 2023 Shelter Summit
Fast Track #1 - Coordinated Care: The Secret Sauce to Ensuring Animals and People Get the Right Care in the Right Place
Learn progressive and collaborative ways of respecting all of the members of your community, especially those who come to us for supportive services. We’ll focus on ways to help pets stay in their current homes when possible and effectively reserve shelter intake for animals who really need to be in our care. We’ll discuss not only how these techniques can reduce shelter intakes, but also how this approach will set everyone up for success, including families, animals, and shelter team members.
