Animal Welfare Professionals

This month our resource drive is focused on community partnerships.

What are Community Partnerships?

When animal services agencies connect with other organizations, both benefit to better support people and pets where they live. Creating relationships with human and environmental organizations that may not traditionally help animals offers a more holistic approach to care.

Potential partner organizations may include child welfare agencies, organizations that provide support for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, scouting and youth organizations, chambers of commerce, social services, public health agencies, food pantries, senior services, domestic violence support services, government agencies, non-profit organizations and organizations that promote racial and social justice and equity.

Successful community partnerships allow for the expansion of programs and services and increase support for families to keep their pets. These partnerships, in turn, may decrease the number of animals that need to enter the physical animal shelter.

What problems do Community Partnerships solve? 

Traditional animal shelters and animal services agencies operate in isolation, cut off from larger community conversations about human and environmental well-being. When we consider animal shelters through a One Health framework, the health of animals is connected to the health of people and the health of our environment. In other words, to address the root causes that lead to animal welfare issues, we need to connect to organizations outside of the animal world.
