    Thanks to Cinimon for the amazing talk today! If you want to schedule a session with Cinimon (which I highly recommend!), please go to CinimonClark.com and if you put SHELTER in the code, you'll get a 15% discount. This could be for general shelter decisions, individual dog counseling or an animal intuitive reading. 

     And to answer the last question about protocols for behavior, please see page 29 of The Go-To Guide for Animal Services, that is where you will find my go-to resources for behavior: https://www.teamshelterusa.com/guide/.  And attached is a blurb we wrote recently for one of our Maddie's Million Pet Challenge consults:

    Thank you Cinimon! Thank you Maddie!
