  • 1.  After Hours Emergency Behavior Support

    Posted 03-16-2022 08:27 AM
    Hello hive mind,

    I am looking for ideas of what other organizations offer in terms of emergency behavior support to their foster volunteers after hours. Emergencies would entail situations such as human-directed aggression, animal-directed aggression with injuries to animals involved, etc.. If you're able and willing to send me your SOP's/protocols to use as possible templates, that would also be much appreciated (kzlangford@rescuevillage.org). Thank you everyone!

    Hi Krystyna, 

    There was a similar question asked here on the forum before: https://forum.maddiesfund.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=205&MessageKey=99abdaa1-73b3-4ad4-a70a-ac9a2f07572b&CommunityKey=afce7f7a-fd5a-431e-9f2a-aaedc46a03d6&tab=digestviewer

    If you read through the replies, there are some great links to a foster resource page and One Tail at a Time's Levels of Emergency for Fosters chart

    Hope this helps give you a place to start!
