	Pet‐friendly housing support	Addresses basic sheltering needs	Reduces housing insecurity	Collaborative programs create partnership with attorneys, human social services, and housing organizations	Opportunity for collaboration with key community stakeholders	Minimal resources to develop and maintain a database; more resources needed for advocacy
	Rehoming advice and resources	Avoid sheltering	Ideally ease the rehoming process and enhance communication with the new owner	Facilitate community member connections to address the need for rehoming	Place the onus for rehoming on the pet owner when feasible	Minimal
	Lost‐and‐found programs	Avoid the negative sequelae of roaming at‐large	Reduce/prevent the emotional impact of losing a pet	Reduce the nuisance or dangerous behaviors related to stray pets	Often required for municipal organizations; touchpoint with the community to provide access to other services	Moderate to significant use of time but often within normal scope of responsibilities
	Temporary sheltering	Prevents permanent rehoming	Maintains the human‐animal bond at a time of critical need	Removes a barrier for those in crisis to seek help for themselves	Opportunity for collaboration through programs that are often very well received by the organization’s supporters	Moderate investment in time and resources to manage program and provide care
	Humane education	Potential for improved welfare	Increases knowledge regarding pet care and may improve children’s emotional well‐being	May enhance empathy and correlate with other positive behaviors in children	Strengthens ties to the community; provides potential for revenue through classes, parties, and camps	Variable based on the scope of the program
Veterinary care	Spay‐neuter services	Health benefits of sterilization	Avoidance of unwanted litters and problematic pet behaviors associated with a sexually intact status	Reduced pet overpopulation and reduced free‐roaming pets	Potential for outreach and collaboration with the local veterinary community	Significant financial and staffing resources typically necessary
	Access to basic veterinary care	Health benefits of preventive health care and other primary veterinary care	Enhances the human‐animal bond by preventing unmanaged medical concerns	Can be partnered with human health initiatives for a One Health community approach	Potential for strategic partnerships with human health agencies and/or private practitioners	Varies based on model but typically requires a moderate to significant resource investment as for spay‐neuter services
	Return‐to‐field programs	Health benefits of sterilization and vaccination	If a caretaker is present, help to reduce colony size and improve colony health	Reduce the free‐roaming cat population	Reduce euthanasia of healthy cats and foster collaboration with the community in trapping and caring for these cats	Require the resources to manage the program and provide sterilization services (but may be outweighed by reduced resources for sheltering and euthanasia)
Behavioral care	Behavior resources	Improved behavioral health	Increased knowledge regarding pet care	May reduce nuisance or dangerous pet behaviors	Enhance the knowledge base of clientele	Minimal resources to collate information and review the information with clients
	Training classes	Improved behavioral health	Increased training knowledge, an opportunity for socialization of the СКАЧАТЬ В начало < 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 > В конец
