Resource Guide
This guide provides shelters, rescue professionals, volunteers, and advocates with ideas and inspiration to help save even more lives.
We regularly visit shelters and rescues across the southern states to see what's working and build connections with the amazing people doing this work. Through these visits and our research team, we discover creative fundraising ideas, volunteer programs, grants, donation opportunities, and innovative ways organizations are saving more lives. This guide brings together all those discoveries in one place, making it easy for anyone working in animal rescue to find the tools they need. We're always adding new resources and ideas, so if you know of something great that should be included, please share it with us!
Kids 4 Paws: Teach Kids How to Safely Interact With a Dog
Even a friendly dog or family pet can be unpredictable. Any dog can bite if it is provoked or suddenly surprised. We believe that if we “listen” to their body language/warnings, bites and injuries can be prevented. Many dogs end up in shelters because they have bitten a child. In most cases, the bite is not even the fault of the dog and could have been avoided. We want to teach children, and their families, how to interact safely with dogs and to understand and respect the signals dogs are giving through their body language.
