HEAR FROM SOME OF OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS:
“We found it helpful to contact programs who were already doing this work and were able to ask questions and learn from their experience to inform our process.”
“Do your research first. There are a few shelters that have kennels. Call them and talk. Ask for their policies and procedures. Go visit, if you can.”
“It’s beneficial to talk to programs that already have programs, exchange ideas, be able to find out what systems they have in place as well as have questions answered.”
