The Shelter Shift: Changing Rescue

Don't call Animal Control, don't take that dog to the "pound." I hear this every single day. It is time to change the way we think about animal shelters and it is time to change how we operate animal shelters.

Welcome to Shelter Shift: Changing Rescue, a movement to rethink animal shelters and revolutionize rescue.

I have been the director of an animal shelter for 9 years, serving both the public and government contracts, and I’ve seen firsthand the challenges, misconceptions, and outdated systems that hold shelters back.

This channel is for shelter professionals, adopters, volunteers, and change-makers who want to see a more innovative, more effective approach to rescue.
