Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello all, 

We are a small foster based rescue. We take in dogs, cats, small critters and birds and on occasion, farm animals if we can find a foster or adopter available. We have been looking at our data for the past few years and trying to figure out ways to increase our impact given the limitations we face. We are still collecting and submitting all of our data manually (to save money) so this takes some doing. We are committed though and always looking at ways to grow. 

My question to everyone (and I apologize if this has been asked and answered elsewhere) is, if you are a foster-based rescue, do you have a specific process that you follow in terms of the time an animal comes into your care to the time they are adopted? Do you follow certain steps or rules to promote a quicker adoption (start promoting the pet on intake for example) or do you let things flow without any set plan? If you have a plan, would you be willing to share your process?

Thank you for any insights you are willing to share!
