If you care for pets on a stray hold, pre-adoption helps you make sure you're not missing out on interested adopters during the holding period. You might assume that only small, highly desirable dogs get pre-adopted, and they do! But Memphis Animal Services started pre-adoptions in 2019 and found that most of the dogs getting pre-adopted were actually medium dogs over 6 months old - the exact population most in need at their shelter. Are you interested in starting pre-adoptions at your org? Here's a step-by-step how-to for getting started!

Why do most adoption policies actually hurt animals? Here’s something not many know. Most shelters use outdated policies that slow down adoptions. They focus on finding “perfect” homes instead of “good” homes. And that means more animals stay in shelters. Dean Daubert from Anderson Humane (formerly Anderson Animal Shelter & Fox Valley Wildlife Center) is changing that. He’s saying yes to more adopters. Instead of searching for the “perfect” family, his team finds loving homes faster. Here’s how you can adopt more efficiently: 1. Focus on a good home, not perfect. 2. Remove unnecessary barriers from your process. 3. Trust that adopters can provide love and care. This simple shift is saving lives. Want to learn more?

“Bring love home. Home is more than four walls and a ceiling. It’s a place where we feel safe and loved — a sanctuary from all storms. Home is often a feeling only you can know. Everyone deserves a home — and that includes pets in shelters. And when they don’t have a home, they’re at risk of being killed. In fact, a dog or cat is killed in America’s shelters every 90 seconds just because they don’t have a safe place to call home. If just 6% more people chose to adopt versus purchase their pets, we would end the killing of dogs and cats in our nation's shelters.” ~ BestFriends.org #ChooseAdoption #StopFillingGreedyBreedersWallets #GreedyBreedersPuppyKilling #GreedyBreedersKillPuppies #SmallPercentageAdoptionsIncreaseMeansNoMoreEuthanizationInShelters #NoKillLA #NoKillUSARequiresYesToAdoptionsAndNoToBreeders #NoToBreeders #YesToAdoption #AdoptPetsToEndEuthanization #BringLoveHome #Love #LoveAnimals #AnimalsLoveUs

This heartwarming story highlights the incredible bond between a mother and her babies. After an earthquake left her puppies buried in rubble, a frantic mother dog was determined to be a part of the rescue efforts. The rescuers recognized her tenacity and instinctive drive, and welcomed her assistance. Thanks to her help, all of her babies were found and rescued. This story is a testament to the power of maternal love and the importance of recognizing the unique abilities and strengths of all members of a team. #dogrescue #motherlylove #earthquakerescue Ajay Singhal On the Right Track Systems, Inc.

Ever wondered about "capacity for care" in animal shelters? It's all about an organization's ability to house and care for pets properly with the resources available. Animal shelters can prioritize capacity for care by: 🐶 Reuniting lost pets with their families 😸 Helping families with resources needed to keep their pets 🐶 Placing pets in foster homes 😸 Ensuring quick and positive outcomes for pets But even shelters with the most consistent positive outcome programming can find themselves over capacity. Given the challenges of overcrowding and limited resources in many shelters, having a solid "At Capacity Action Plan" is essential. Check out our strategies for managing capacity challenges — download the free checklist: https://lnkd.in/gPrpv6a6 Interested in interested in learning more about the world of animal services?

Myth: You can't find young animals at shelters. Truth: Shelters often have puppies and kittens, especially during certain times of the year. They also have young adult pets who have plenty of energy and love to give. If you have a question, we'd be happy to answer!
