Animal Shelter Best Practices: 7 Proven Strategies That Save Lives
We just finished our latest shelter tour which took us to 12 shelters in three states. Some were struggling, but many were succeeding. Here are seven ways shelters and communities are finding success despite the growing challenges in animal services.
