Shelter Health Assessment Services
This is a transitional time for the animal welfare field as growing demand for animal-friendly solutions is challenging traditional sheltering paradigms. There is an international desire to shift from a reactive animal control model in which massive numbers of animals are processed through shelters with an overall high euthanasia rate to one in which proactive preventive measures reduce shelter admissions and increase adoptions with an eye on optimizing medial and behavioral health.
The Shelter Health Assessment Services will become available for shelters throughout the southeastern United States in January 2009.
