The Network Live: Using Capacity for Care as a Metric to Advance Your Mission and Save Lives

November 17, 2024

9:30 am - 10:45 am | Grand Ballroom

Panel Discussion:

With lengthy stays and bottle-necked shelters, Capacity for Care (C4C) is more than just a management tool—it’s essential for ensuring that every animal’s needs are met, no matter their circumstances. This panel will explore why understanding and implementing C4C is crucial for every shelter. When shelters run out of space, the consequences are severe, but by operating within C4C, shelters can provide the best care for animals and be a reliable resource for the community.

This panel will share practical strategies for integrating C4C into your organization, helping you optimize resources, and improve outcomes for both animals and people. Join us to gain the tools and insights needed to effectively manage your shelter’s capacity and ensure no animal is left behind.
