Thank you everyone for sharing your websites and information!
Our Animal Services team is from a small rural town in Texas and are finally at a point where we are ready to launch programming as you have all put into practice. I can't wait to visit all of your resources!
In addition to the practices already mentioned, does anyone have any experience in the following?
-creating a community fence repair program
-advice on preventative practices in place to decolonize RTO practices
Thank you! This is the exact post I joined to find!

Many thanks for sharing this resource. There are numerous counties in Mississippi facing similar challenges. Bless you.

Are you familiar with Pets for Life? We've been doing this kind of work for over ten years now and have lots of resources and toolkits: https://humanepro.org/programs/pets-for-life
We work with several groups in Texas, including previously in San Antonio.

Our non-profit Texas Rescue Network is a newer 501c3 that is based in San Antonio, Texas. We are finding that many of the zip codes that struggle with stray overpopulation and roaming dogs face barriers like lack of transportation, internet, or education when it comes to the free/low cost spay and neuter opportunities that are available for them in the area. We would love to connect with other organizations and hear what methods they have implemented to reach those lower income communities in need of pet care but experiencing hardship.
