Consultation Service
This special consulting service looks at animal
problems
in your community and offers recommendations based
on
organizational capacities, staffing and available resources.
A proper evaluation results in an efficient use of all available
resources that leads to a more effective community animal management
system. For governments, it means effective health and disease control,
better law enforcement and, most importantly, cost-effective use of
taxpayer dollars. For nonprofit shelters and animal rescues, it means
stronger services for homeless animals that leads to a reduction in kill rates.
A thorough evaluation can point out what is working and what needs to
be improved. New ideas can be presented for consideration.

Experience
