Hi,
Thank you for completing this survey about your behavior programs at your organization. We'll use this information to learn about where you might benefit from support, to help you meet your goals. Note that the questions aren't intended to suggest that organizations should be implementing everything mentioned in the survey. Some choices refer to items which aren't currently best practices for providing behavioral care, but that many shelters still do. Asking questions about all kinds of behavior work help us to make recommendations for your organization.
If you're only looking for support with dogs, you can leave all of the cat questions blank.Please have the person most familiar with your organization’s behavior program respond to this survey. This survey will take about 30 minutes to complete.
Specific data from your organization and behavior program during the last calendar year will be required, such as:
- Total cat and dog intake
- Total number dog and cat bites from animals in custody
- Save rate
- Return rate
- Average length of stay (of dogs/cats currently in custody)
- Total number of dogs/cats currently in (foster/shelter) with length of stay more than 90 days
- Total number full-time and part-time staff and volunteers who support the behavior program.
If you have questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Sheila@maddiesfund.org.
Thank you!
