For my org, if we say "rescue partners" it can either mean a shelter we pull from, that is committed to becoming no kill, or a local rescue/shelter we work with on rescue missions or other initiatives. If we refer to someone as a community partner or sponsor, they support our organization in another way, such as grant funding, donations or providing other resources.

I've seen a few rescues in my area have sections on their website that say "rescue partnerships". When I ask them what that means, they reply that they're just friends with the rescue and want to spotlight them.
I was always under the impression that a "partnership" or a "rescue partnership" was more than spotlighting.
What's everyone's own definition of "rescue partnership" and how would you go about having one?
