Building Solidarity with Shelter Workers and Opening Minds

Nonprofit Specialist Julia, Research Specialist Amber, and Community Education Specialist Andie discuss animal sanctuary and rescue collaboration considerations with animal shelters. While the word “shelter” can be evocative for many, and many folks may have a lot of feelings about them, it’s important to realize that shelters are often an essential point of contact when it comes to saving the lives of animals in need. They are frequently a first point of entry for animals in need of assistance, and they can be a critical ally to your animal organization! Have a listen to learn more about how your organization can develop and maintain relationships with shelters so you can maximize your helpful impact for animals!
