The overall success of any animal shelter can be determined by several guidelines. First of all and foremost, the cleanliness of the shelter and attention to detail. Second of all - the driving force to expand guidelines and cleaning protocols (this includes the staff consistently to enforce them.) Third, the level of communication with the public and the community focus on saving animals. Finally, the level of care provided to the shelter animals which includes but is not limited to behavioral enrichment, and the care of wild life/sick animals.Below I give an outline of a few very important chapters I like. Not all of them are listed and there are a total of 40-50 chapters in the book.--Cat/Dog (Behavior, Medicine, Age and Sex, Shelter Design)This book will teach you how to age and sex animals. Provided also is some basic breed descriptions and traits that can be associated with certain dog and cat breeds. This book lists some fantastic ideas on behavioral enrichment such as toys that can be made for less than a dollar and shelves that can be made next to nothing.This book will also teach you how to determine anxiety or aggression and instructions to curb it without escalating the situation. One example is the idea of tier shelves for cat cages while cleaning as compared to the stress that is associated with cat cage moves.Adoption is a very happy time for the shelter staff and also a time that the eyes must serve as top notch radar sensors. Some adopters might seem but would not pass a background check. Having a staff that can help access an individuals background without being too invasive is just one must.One more important thing to add is that shelter design strongly encourages adopters to come in.
