1 Progressive Animal Control Series Part One: Animal Shelters: The move towards no-kill 1 Today s Presenters Scott Trebatoski Department Director Pet Resource Center Hillsborough County, Florida Holly Sizemore Director National Programs Best Friends Animal Society 2 Agenda Brief Comparison of Animal Shelters in 1980s and Today Overview of Policies and Key Strategies To Achieve No Kill Questions 3 1
2 Polling Question Are there attendees today who work directly in the animal control department? A. Yes B. No 4 Polling Question How many animals are estimated to die annually in U.S. shelters? A. Four Million B. One Million C. Two Hundred Thousand 5 What Does No-Kill Mean? No healthy or treatable animal killed No-Kill Shelter: No healthy or treatable animal killed in that particular shelter No-Kill Community: No healthy or treatable animal killed throughout all animal welfare agencies community-wide Benchmark: typically 90% Save Rate/Live Release Rate 6 2
3 What No-Kill Isn t: Labeling shelter workers murderers Saving truly dangerous or irremediably suffering animals Hoarding 90% save rate Turning away animals truly in need s Today Est. 16 M annual shelter deaths (shelteranimalscount.org) Approx. 67 deaths per 1,000 population Est. 3.5 M shelter deaths (shelteranimalscount.org) Approx. 11 deaths per 1,000 population More animals off street = safer communities Solve for Why animals are on the street Animals deserve a humane death Animals deserve to live Polling Question Lack of available homes for homeless pets is a primary reason for animals dying in shelters. A. True B. False 9 3
4 17 Million The number of people looking to bring a pet into their home each year (Maddie s Fund) s Today Shelter pets are damaged goods Shelter pets are cool Public is irresponsible Public wants to do the right thing Facilities built to hold/kill Facilities built to house/adopt 1980s Today Some pet owners spayed/neutered their pets Most pet owners spay/neuter their pets Funding for government shelter/animal control based on animal intake numbers Funding based on multiple factors (Thanks ICMA) Zero No-Kill communities > 230 No-Kill communities (outthefrontdoor.com) 4
5 So, if your shelter isn t no-kill does it mean? 13 Other Barriers Lack of Resources: $, Time, Expertise, Technology, Etc. Lack of Collaboration Lack of Political Will 14 Public Sheltering & Animal Control Protect public health & welfare Safety for people & their pets Positive outcomes for animals in your care It s now a community effort and a community concern 15 5
6 Filling Community Needs Gov t provides for needs of the community where no one else does Citizens now demand services for pets Sterilization programs Affordable access to veterinary care 16 Resources for Communities of all Sizes 17 Resources for Communities of all Sizes
7 Think BUSINESS principles Sunk costs you can t recoup Stop the bleeding The goal isn t $, but positive outcomes Name your own price 19 Marketing, Marketing, MARKETING Pet adoptions ARE a retail function Know your competitors & your customers needs/desires Old dog catcher & pound imagery is well entrenched be creative to show your new brand The First Place for Pets 20 Marketing Resources: No More Homeless Pets Network network.bestfriends.org 21 7
8 Do you know where most of the animals in your shelter come from and why? Target Services & Programs Focus on need, areas of high intake or high complaints (often overlap) Unsterilized cats in poverty level areas are 26 times more likely to be intact (targeted spay/neuter) Dogs & cats 4 times more likely to be relinquished in poor areas (retention programs) 23 Targeted Spay/Neuter 24 8
9 Mandatory Spay/Neuter Good or Bad Policy? Affordability and Accessibility are Critical 25 Investment in Services Expenses like sterilization and IDs (and scanners on ACO vehicles) can reduce future costs Fewer repeat offenders - hormones No.1 Return to owner increased Identifies specific problems for focused attention 26 Dangerous Dog Laws and Stray/Community Cats Check out Tomorrow s Webinar 27 9

11 Community Approach 31 Community Approach Outsourcing/Privatization 32 Community Approach Public/Private Partnerships 33 11
12 Polling Question Transporting animals to other areas is a great community approach to no kill. A. True B. False 34 Transporting Animals? Focus on transporting from high to very low euthanasia areas Remember supply and demand Output resources - cost per life saved 35 Community Approach Getting Animals to the Public 36 12
13 Community Approach Incentives to Reduce Shelter Bottlenecks 37 STATS Know Them, Share Them Gauge progress through objective measures (remember outcomes vs. output where possible) Show comparisons, graphs, charts visual Explain outliers or events affecting measures Learn what people want to see or can understand Transparency publish your stats 38 Pet Limits Are they outdated? Is it the number or the way people keep pets? Hoarders aren t reduced by limits Changing pet ownership 39 13
14 Funding Sources Public shelters must be able to seek funding other than fees/taxes Captive trust funds & friends groups (501c3 status) Keep some of your charity dollars in your community 40 Shelters Can Fundraise 41 Polling Question Why do you take every animal? A. Required by law B. Mission of government C. Traditionally what s been done D. They will become abandoned 42 14
15 Open Admission Policies Open admission doesn t mean you have to take everything immediately Historically owner surrenders did not come to the public shelter, nor did pocket pets Don t negate personal responsibility & pet owners need to use all resources (make them pay for impacts) Intervention & resource referrals reduce intake in a positive manner 43 Summary- Reduce Intake No breed specific policies Return To Field (R2F) Nuisance laws vs. pet limits Managed admission Pet retention programs/resources Targeted S/N in the right volume for right price AND accessible to most in need Licensing - easy, affordable and focuses on getting a lost pet home 44 Summary- Increase Live Outcomes 45 Restrict puppy sales options Transparency of data - know which animals are dying and create programs to save them Access to at-risk pets for rescue Adoptions: Retail principles Adequate shelter facility/animal care Volunteers Collaboration Differential minimum hold periods when resulting in live outcomes 15
16 Typical Road to No Kill Community Demands Change Government Resolves to Increase Lifesaving Analysis of Current Reality (Find Gaps) Strategic and Tactical Plans Created Partnerships Formed (with ground rules) Partner Roles/Goals Created Oversight and Accountability Plan Analyze and Adjust 46 Final Point Transitioning culture to no-kill may involve a grief period for shelter/aco staff and/or resistance This is not because they like killing 47 Resources Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change, by William Bridges Mitch Sneider, Reno Nevada, ICMA network.bestfriends.org humanenetwork.org target-zero.org 48 16
