Expanding Sanctuary Capacity Through Adoption Programs

Executive Director Mckenzee Griffler and Nonprofit Specialist Julia Magnus continue discussing animal sanctuary capacity. We review some of the many elements that play a role in determinations around capacity and discuss ways to make it easier for your organization and team when capacity limitations dictate that you say “no,” and discuss other ways your organization can help even when you must decline a rescue request. We also discuss the concept of the “moral remainder” and how you and your team can address challenging emotions when they arise. Please be forewarned that there will be discussions around animal rescue and some of the emotional and complex ethical decisions rescuers must make.
