Our shelter expert/advisor in how to contact and communicate with humane societies. Please note her for your questions in regards to working with shelters. Here is what she has to say about her experience working with shelters: I'm a registered nurse which does help with understanding animal care also. I work closely with the Medical Director and staff to determine treatment options for pets in our care. I have been on the Board of Directors since 1999 and was Shelter Liaison for four years (I still am unofficially I just don't carry a beeper anymore.) Since we operate on a very tight budget, the board of directors are much more involved in the management of the shelter than many boards.
Thanks to a HSUS program called Pets for Life, I'm also connected through an e-mail system with lots of other shelters nationally. Ideas, concerns, issues are sent and responded to electronically on almost all topics relating to shelters.
Hope this helps. GeorgiaRose
