So rescues work with certain shelters…some only take small or breed specific. Some don’t take behavior dogs or sick dogs listed for pre euthanasia, but if they seem perfectly healthy try anyway. Holds are being shortened. If you don’t agree then sign petitions and get involved. Nobody wants to see a healthy dog euthanized, and it’s shocking that it’s happening. Fosters don’t happen out of thin air, reach out to your company, and Highschools and active senior facilities and anyone who can help. When a shelter is in a no man’s land? Create a lifeline. DogsWithoutBorders O kills is the goal!!! Love you dog lovers and rescuers and vets and fosters.

Safety is no Accident

I'm beyond excited for our client, Invisible Universe 🥳 🎉 . If you haven’t seen their recent developments, you’re missing out! Did you catch Clydeo on the Today Show? 👀 They’ve been creating some of the most adorable characters, but there’s so much more happening behind the scenes. For a quick recap of what Invisible Universe is all about, here’s some info from Doug Shapiro's article: - Invisible Universe (IU) is an internet-first animation studio that develops animation franchises and distributes chiefly on YouTube and TikTok. - Instead of the traditional model of creating content and then distributing it, IU employs a highly iterative content development process, continuously engaging with its fan base and quickly turning new content. Fans play an active role in plot and character development. - Recognizing that falling entry barriers generally mean lower margins, IU doesn’t view video as a profit center. Video is a mechanism for creating franchises that are monetized through other channels. - Contrary to the perception that GenAI is currently a hobbyist tool, IU has fully transitioned to AI-enabled content generation. Over the last year, it has created its own fine-tuned models, trained on its IP, and developed a custom workflow. As a result, it has reduced development time on its videos from weeks to hours and reduced content development costs by over 90%. - It intends to productize its workflow as a IU Studio that enables fans to create content using its IP. Essentially - they are doing amazing things AND 🚨 Exciting News 🚨 unlocking some of their studio capabilities to the public for the first time! You can actually help Clydeo choose his next adventure in their AI art studio!! 😲 Trust me, you want to give them a follow! #clientshoutout #ai #technology #videoproduction #accountingfirm #excitingnews #todayshow #rescue Connected Accounting

Reposting for greater visibility. The final chapter is the most important!

Please stop breeding these animals just to see them destroyed. It breaks my heart. The most egregious thing is buying puppies in pet stores, online or Craigslist. These almost always come from cruel & abusive puppy mills. Greedy people who do not give even adequate care and just breed until the dog can’t and then abandon or destroy them. The USDA just rubber stamp these breeders & brokers. They often get inbred and face a lifetime of medical care. Please Google “ puppy mills” to learn more. Please share. Adopting & fostering whether it’s children or animals is the most powerful of the superpowers.

Lifesaving animal shelter policy: - Do not impound eartipped community cats. They are already home outdoors and have been spayed or neutered. - If a non-eartipped community cat is impounded, immediately practice #TNR. Community cats are generally not adoptable and are extremely stressed in a shelter environment. TNR is the only humane, effective approach. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eWymq-7z

“48% of (shelter) intake in the US were strays, and only 9% were returned to their owners” - those are heartbreaking stats. When a pet becomes lost, the best outcome is to get that animal back home, fast! The finder-to-foster program model works to do just this; keeping animals out of the shelter. And it’s had great success in the U.S.! Some shelters have doubled or even tripled return-to-home rates with the program, plus increased adoptions to boot. Jenifer Reed and Heather Kalman, who are with Human Animal Support Services at Austin Pets Alive! shared strategies with #ICAM2024 to successfully implement this type of program in your shelter.
