Animal shelters across the country have been in a capacity crisis for the past two years due to rising intakes and adoptions that are simply not keeping pace with the number of animals coming in.At the 2023 Best Friends National Conference, speakers Tori Fugate and Misty Valenta told the audience during their session that by reframing the perspective to “never let a good crisis go to waste,” they allowed themselves the opportunity to try new and creative marketing that they never thought possible - and they say you can do it too.This week, we're sharing a session from this year's conference titled “Capacity Crisis Marketing.” You'll hear how Tori at KC Pet Project and Misty at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter publicized their shelter capacity to their communities while still promoting their pets, programs, and services. You'll hear unique ways to use different mediums to effectively communicate the current capacity of your shelter and engage your community to get involved. Through effective messaging on social media, email, text programs, and more, you'll continue to see support from your community, obtain media coverage, and ultimately save lives.To watch the video or to check out the slides for this presentation, visit the website for The Best Friends Podcast: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-149

We always love hearing from listeners, especially when we hear that the podcast has helped you be more effective in your lifesaving work. This is why we loved receiving the email about the significant changes happening at Secondhand Hounds.Rachel Mairose, the founder of the Minneapolis-based rescue organization, listened to episode 67 of The Best Friends Podcast, "If "nobody's perfect," then why do we expect all pet adopters to be?" She says that the episode (with guest Lawrence Nicolas) helped her realize that their adoption process wasn't as inclusive as it could be and that set a new way of handling their adoption process in motion.This week we chat with Rachel to learn more about the changes underway at her organization and how she's managing those changes in policy with their staff, volunteers, and donors.To learn how you can remove roadblocks to adoption by implementing more inclusive adoption practices, check out the website for this episode: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-142

Nonprofit boards can come in different shapes and sizes, each often taking its own approach in the ways they support the organization. But let's be honest, sometimes support isn't the most accurate word to use for certain boards.There are many reasons why boards become ineffective, but the responsibility of a board is a vital one, and board members' contributions can make a lasting impact. This week we're talking more about boards and revisiting this conversation we had with Trish Tolbert in May. Check out Liz Finch's latest program spotlight, "building a better board of directors," to hear the perspectives of more industry leaders: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/program-spotlights/building-better-board-directorsThe website for The Best Friends Podcast includes more resources and information on how you organization can become a Best Friends network partner: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-140

The period to submit proposals to speak at the 2023 Best Friends National Conference is now open! Check out this link for more information on the requirements, timeline, and how to submit: https://bfas.io/NiEMTo get us started for 2023, we take a moment to think about the year ahead. What has happened over the last few weeks and months that can help us plan for what's coming next?Do we expect intake to continue rising at the pace it did through 2022? Will adoptions pick up and at least keep pace with intake? What about the impact of other factors within animal welfare and beyond, such as the economy?The senior director of lifesaving programs for Best Friends, Brent Toellner, looked at the data and trends and shared what he thinks the year ahead may look like in this week's episode.For more resources related to this episode, check out the website for The Best Friends Podcast: bestfriends.org/podcast

This is the final episode of the year! And what a year it has been.Across the country, shelters struggled to manage increases in intake, and while adoptions also increased, the boost in positive outcomes couldn't keep pace. That resulted in many folks in our industry being more overwhelmed than usual (which is saying something). We want to thank you for everything you do to help pets and those who love them.It's important always to show gratitude and celebrate wins. However, it's even more important when times are tough. So as we say farewell to 2022, we're celebrating the success our Best Friends Network Partners achieved during the four Best Friends National Adoption Weekend events we held in 2022, during which more than 35,000 pets found homes.We asked our partners to share their experiences with us, and we're sharing them with you.

The new year is always filled with new energy, goals, and things to "start." But what about things you want to stop doing or continue doing? One of the reasons the new year can feel so overwhelming is because we focus too much on all the things we want to change or begin. In this episode, Astrid and Alexis deep dive into why it's important to identify what you want to stop doing, continue doing, do more of, and less of in the new year. This is a helpful framework to use as you map out 2023! //@inbetween.pod//@astridjohanaphoto//@alexisteichmiller

There's a powerful relationship between confidence, acceptance, and trust. They influence how we show up in the world, how we advocate for ourselves and others, and the way we treat ourselves. But how do we build foundational confidence? It starts by reflecting on where you find your confidence now, knowing your values, and making room for your feelings, even when it's messy. In this episode, Astrid and Alexis share their own journeys of building sustainable confidence that's not based on external factors and how they cultivate trust within themselves.Follow the In Between Pod on IG!Follow Astrid on IG!Follow Alexis on IG! 

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, so we're taking a moment to thank all members of the military, active duty and veteran, for their service. We're also using this as an opportunity to learn more about Dogs on Deployment, one of our Best Friends Network partners whose work directly impacts those who are and have served the nation.Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say, and that was the case with the nonprofit organization Dogs on Deployment.President and co-founder Alisa Johnson joined the Marine Corps in 2011, serving ten years as a KC-130J pilot. Her husband Shawn, also a pilot (in the US Navy), found themselves struggling to find options for the care of their dog JD during months-long deployments. After ruling out expensive options like boarding and professional dog sitters, they found a family member who agreed to care for JD for the six months Alisa was training at Quantico. An ideal situation, but no doubt a lucky one.They wondered how many other service members find themselves in that same predicament. What about those who don't have family able to help? What happens to those pets?DoD's nationwide network of patriotic foster homes ensures the human-animal bond stays intact when a military pet owner answers the call of duty. Over the years, the organization's work has grown to support veterans and first responders, not only with temporary fostering.If your work involves keeping pets and pet owners together, this is one resource you will want to have in your arsenal.Check out more on The Best Friends Podcast website: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-134

When the York County SPCA (YCSPCA) hired a new executive director at the end of 2019, it set in motion plans to transform how the organization operated. To reach and sustain a 90% save rate of animals coming into the shelter, Steven Martinez knew success in his new role would require executing an audacious strategic plan focused on five pillars of change. By overhauling the IT infrastructure, implementing a community cat program, revamping the adoption processes, and improving internal and external communications, the YCSPCA proved that going big isn't just a bold strategy - it can be a winning one. This week we hear from Steven about the last three years as he shares what he feels were the keys to their success and his advice about how your organization can go about its radical transformation.

Funks. We all experience them. Maybe you're feeling stuck, in a rut, or in a funk. How do you know when you're in one? What triggered it? How does it shift your behavior or how you feel about yourself? And how do you get out of a rut? In this episode, Astrid and Alexis share how they navigate the phases of funks: Pre-funks, in the funk, and post funk. They also share tactics they use to move forward through them.Follow the In Between on IG!Follow Astrid on IG!Follow Alexis on IG! 

The field of animal welfare can be physically and mentally grueling. At times, it may feel like there is no end in sight with so many requests for help. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, not every story has a happy ending. The data backs up our feelings about how hard this work is on our mental health. For example, a 2015 study showed the suicide rates for animal welfare workers to be the highest among all professions - including law enforcement. Thankfully, there are effective strategies to help you manage the challenging emotions that inevitably come with doing this work. https://bit.ly/3fNbMOO (Elizabeth Fagan) is a psychotherapist who works with companies and nonprofits, including animal welfare agencies, to help their staff manage trauma experienced while on the job. She joins us this week to help us understand more about how the rigors of animal welfare work impact us and what we can do about it.

When looking for practical tips and inspiration to help you save lives, chances are you've never sought out reality television for answers. But according to this week's guest, animal welfare professionals can learn much from "The Real Housewives." Makena Yarbrough is not only the Senior Director of Lifesaving Programs at Best Friends, but she's also a self-professed superfan of the reality TV franchise. Using the show as inspiration, she created a presentation for the 2022 Best Friends National Conference that points out that a lot of the struggles in the show are things we face every day.

Since 2017, the partnership between The Rachael Ray Foundation and Best Friends has supported Best Friends Network Partners through millions of dollars in grants to help reduce shelter deaths in communities across the country. The funded projects over the years have varied. Some focused on increasing lifesaving within one shelter. Others used the grant to fund programs to help other communities beyond their own. But they have all shared the same goal of impactful, innovative, and inclusive programming that is helping us get to No-Kill 2025. The grant cycle opens on September 1st, 2022, so this week, we're taking a closer look at the Rachael Ray grants program. What grants are available, who is eligible to receive funding, and what types of programs have received funding in the past? We spoke with Bethany Heins, the director of strategy and network operations for Best Friends, to learn more about the basics, and we also chatted with Ashley Flores from the Great Plains SPCA in Merriam, Kansas. Ashley tells us about their virtual behavior mentorship program - an idea that took flight after they received a Rachael Ray grant in 2022.

This week registration opened for the Return to Home Challenge. During October, participating organizations that handle lost/stray dogs and cats will take their efforts to get lost pets back home to the next level. Using simple practices such as microchipping, making information on lost pets easily accessible by the public, and educating the community's pet owners on what to do to ensure their pet has the best chance of getting home should they go missing. It's also about educating the community on how they can be part of the solution for any lost pets they find.   The strategies can save time, money, and of course, lives, and there's $300,000 in grant money available to participating organizations. Seventeen national organizations are sponsoring this challenge, including Best Friends. Registration closes on August 1st, so time is of the essence for you to sign up: https://www.maddiesfund.org/return-to-home-challenge-best-friends.htm (https://www.maddiesfund.org/return-to-home-challenge-best-friends.htm) To talk more about the challenge and the strategies that can help you get more pets back home more quickly, we spoke with Gina Knepp, the national shelter engagement director for the Michelson Found Animals Foundation.  Check out the website for The Best Friends Podcast: https://bestfriends.org/podcast (https://bestfriends.org/podcast)

During this year's Best Friends National Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, we interviewed several industry leaders for the podcast. This week we're sharing our conversation with Alexis Pugh, the director of Memphis Animal Services. We talk about the state of animal welfare in Southwest Tennessee during this challenging time in the industry and what they're doing to meet the needs of people and pets in the community.

There is an immeasurable importance when it comes to  creating a network amongst Black/African people in the diaspora. To help shed light on this topic, TeaRon (@tearonworld) was able to sit down with Yohannes (@africnetwork) the creator of the 'Afric Network' a media brand dedicated to connecting all people of African Descent, and to teach the world about the rich culture. Culture, food, travel, education, and building bridges are all explored in the latest episode.Learn More: Instagram - (@Africnetwork) https://www.instagram.com/a...Facebook - (@Africnetwork) https://www.facebook.com/Af......Twitter - (@Africnetwork) https://twitter.com/AfricNe...SnapChat - AfricnetworkUbiquitous Blacks InstagramUbiquitous Blacks Facebook

The Best Friends 2021 Lifesaving Dataset showed that over the last year, adoptions did not keep pace with the increase in the number of cats and dogs entering shelters. Unfortunately, that trend has continued into 2022, and with many around the country experiencing the same issues, transports are happening less frequently, adding to the strain on animal shelters. We wanted to learn more about the public's attitudes towards pet adoption during this turbulent time. Have we hit a national saturation point of pet ownership? Are external factors like the economy and housing issues to blame? For those who still want to add a new pet to their family, where are they acquiring them from? To find out more, Best Friends Animal Society commissioned a survey and gathered insights from hundreds of members of the public who considered acquiring a pet or did acquire a pet in the past 12 months. This week we sit down with the director of strategy and network operations for Best Friends, Bethany Heins. She shares the results, and we discuss how to use the insights to ensure you're maximizing your adoptions.

The Best Friends National Adoption Weekend is coming up July 22nd-24th. This network partner exclusive event helps organizations like yours adopt more animals. To learn more about the event and to register, check out this link: https://network.bestfriends.org/join-us/events/best-friends-national-adoption-event (https://network.bestfriends.org/join-us/events/best-friends-national-adoption-event) To get us all geared up for the adoption event, we're dipping into the archives to revisit one of our favorite adoption-themed episodes. Every time someone chooses to adopt an animal, we have the opportunity to positively change that person's life and save an animal's life. So why do we still put up so many barriers that make adopting an animal so unreasonably difficult? The reasons to deny a pet adoption are as vast as they are inane. Sometimes it's because of age (of the adopter and/or the pet). Others because they are a renter, while another potential adopter may own a home, a fenceless yard can lead to rejection. Some organizations go so far as asking if you plan to have children anytime in the next decade. Unfortunately, this often grueling and unnecessarily invasive adoption process does little to determine how much a pet will be cared for and drives good people away from our lifesaving work. This week we speak with Lawrence Nicolas, the Chief Operating Officer for the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League in West Palm Beach, Florida (currently, he is the COO of the Jacksonville Humane Society in Florida). Lawrence tells us about their open adoption process that sends roughly 6,000 animals to new homes each year while maintaining a return rate of under 4 percent. Check out the website for The Best Friends Podcast: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast (bestfriends.org/podcast)

Many animal shelters across the country are struggling right now. In most areas, intake is up, and positive outcomes are down. With other factors impacting our industry, such as staffing issues and the economy, what is happening is nothing short of a crisis. If you are experiencing this, you know that it can be hard to maintain lifesaving when the number of animals coming in doesn't slow down. Creating compelling content for the public and the media is a vital piece of the puzzle to getting the animals in your care out into foster and adoptive homes. One community that has found ways to maintain its impressive live release rate is Kansas City, Missouri. This week we spoke with Tori Fugate, the chief communications officer for KC Pet Project, about how they've managed to keep up the lifesaving pace. We want to hear from you. How is your community doing right now? Share your story with us. You may be featured on a future episode!

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected our lives in many ways, and it seems to have transformed the American workforce. Last year the experts dubbed the shifting economy “the great resignation” as millions of workers left the workforce during the pandemic. Now, thanks to more data, the experts say this period has become “the great reshuffle.” Millions of workers are still leaving their jobs each month, but the data shows that the majority of people are not leaving the workforce for good. Instead, people are seeking new careers, often in new fields, working for companies that can offer great benefits, flexibility, and a positive internal culture that values them and their contributions. That means there is more competition than ever when it comes to finding and retaining your staff at a time when no shelter or rescue organization can afford to lose anyone. So this week, our guests share some insight on how you can gain the hiring edge. We want to hear from you about your staffing situation. Are you fully staffed? Are you struggling to find and retain workers? Share your story with us. You may be featured on a future episode!

This week we're talking about an important but often underutilized and sometimes dysfunctional component of every nonprofit organization - the board of directors. Boards can take on different forms, but all boards of directors provide a governance role. Sometimes (most often in the case of small organizations), the board can be a "working board," where members take on operational responsibilities on top of the governance duties. No matter the approach, board members play an essential role in the oversight of organizations, such as fiduciary duties, leading the strategic planning, and supporting the organization's management. With the programmatic shifts in the industry and issues such as the economy affecting all of us, now more than ever, animal welfare organizations need board members who are ready and willing to step up to the challenge. We chatted with the senior specialist with the Best Friends national embed team, Trish Tolbert, to learn more about boards. We want to hear from you about your boards. What's working, and what's not?

Helping people and pets in rural America comes with many challenges. For example, how do you offer even the most basic veterinary services when there are no vets who can help within 100 miles, and buying a transport van is a pipe dream? How do you recruit new foster homes when you've already asked everyone in town? Reassigning staff to support new programs can be a valuable strategy, but how can you when overburdened employees already perform several roles - everything from animal care to adoptions, volunteer coordinator, and fundraiser? What are the best practices in rural shelters, and how do they differ from those in larger communities? And what can we all do to support the lifesaving organizations in those communities? Learning from those who have found ways to overcome the obstacles is a good place to start! This week, we head to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to speak with the executive director for the Good Shepherd Humane Society, Cole Wakefield, to learn more about what it's like to save lives in the Ozarks.

Most estimates say that the number of lost pets each year is roughly 10 million. One in every three pets will be lost at some point. These staggering statistics are more than just numbers on a page - each one is a pet with a loving family desperate to find them and bring them home safely. Unfortunately, the number of lost pets in shelters which make it home is very low. The number of lost dogs getting home has improved in the last few years, but the odds of a lost owned cat in a shelter being reunited with its owner is just 2%. This week we're focusing on lost cats and how we can improve our strategies to get more of them back home. We spoke with someone who has helped thousands of cats get home, Pet Detective Kim Freeman To learn more about Kim, check out her website: https://www.lostcatfinder.com/ (lostcatfinder.com) You can find resources related to this episode on The Best Friends Podcast website: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-107 (network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-107)

Last week we heard all about the Best Friends shelter collaborative program. This peer-based mentorship model pairs up shelters with a track record of lifesaving success with shelters in need of the expertise and support a knowledgeable mentor can offer. Best Friends is planning to grow the shelter collaborative program this year, but you don't need to be officially part of this program to pair up and save lives. This week we hear from Shelbi Waters, the executive director of https://svaspets.com/ (Souris Valley Animal Shelter) in Minot, North Dakota, and Kasey Renteria, the executive director of https://ardmoreanimalshelter.org/ (Ardmore Animal Shelter) in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Hear how these two leaders forged a relationship that will save the lives of dogs and cats for years to come.

It's not easy to take risks, especially if you're someone who prefers the familiar. But believing that change isn't necessary because “this is how we've always done it” can be detrimental to your lifesaving efforts. Our field is constantly evolving, and to save as many lives as possible, we have to be willing to try new approaches, even when that means going beyond our comfort zone. This week we're joined by two risk-takers, Stacy Rogers and Makena Yarbrough from Best Friends. We talk about why it's so important to take risks and how to do it smartly. Share your stories with us of when taking risks resulted in success (and failure). You could be featured in an upcoming episode!

Charles and Jenny sit down to watch Sweet Charity from 1969. 

It's episode number 100 of The Best Friends Podcast, and we are thrilled to welcome back Julie Castle, the CEO of Best Friends Animal Society. Our conversation for this episode focused on a new compensation program rolled out at Best Friends, which raises the pay ranges for hourly animal caregiving staff and veterinary technicians. Julie talks about something she calls the "poverty headspace" and why the entire field must break away from the belief that animal care roles are "front-line" entry-level positions. Instead, she hopes we will all see that providing for sentient creatures' physical, emotional, and medical needs is truly the heart of what we do.

We talk about what has been happening for the past year and why things have been amazing in many ways, and hard in others. 

As this new year gets underway, we've been thinking about what lies ahead for 2022. Of course, the last two years were a good reminder that even the best prognosticator can't see everything coming, but that doesn't mean we should stop thinking about the future. We asked the experts and settled on a “top five” list of areas that are most likely to be affecting you in one way or another in the weeks and months ahead (if they're not already!). By no means an exhaustive list, today's episode focuses on community-supported sheltering, staffing, foster programs, cat lifesaving, and the veterinary resource crisis. So what is happening with these issues, what may lie ahead, and what can you do about them? We sat down with Best Friends regional director Stacy Rogers to talk through the issues impacting shelters and rescue organizations across the country.

As animal welfare focuses more on supporting pets and their people, how do we best provide those services in areas that historically have not had essential resources, such as veterinary services and pet supplies?  CARE (Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity) recently launched a new program, CARE Centers. A model through which they hope will provide those services and engage the "proximate leaders" from within those neighborhoods. It's a unique approach and, if successful, could lead to CARE Centers across the country.  What is the model, how does it work, and what does the future hold? We spoke with Mike Bricker, the Chief Strategy Officer for CARE to learn more.  For resources related to this episode, check out the Best Friends Podcast website for episode 96: https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-96 (https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-96)

It's Christmas Eve-Eve, and we hope you are having a safe and happy holiday season. As we talked about last week, the national level lifesaving data is starting to show some concerning trends, such as increased length of stay. One key lifesaving strategy is transport - moving animals from one community to another with fewer adoptable pets and greater demand. This episode is another fantastic session from the 2021 https://bestfriends.org/conference (Best Friends National Conference). The presenter, Clare Callison from https://americanpetsalive.org/ (American Pets Alive!), shares her experience building transport programs and what you need to do to find, and cultivate, the right partnerships to create your own sustainable, effective transport program.

As the world attempts to return to some sense of normalcy, we're still feeling the impacts of the global pandemic across animal welfare. While there have been positives for the industry, the disruption of our daily lives over the last two years is showing its impact on lifesaving, and it's not all good news. One particular data point trending in the wrong direction is length of stay (LOS). This measurement is the amount of time an animal is in the shelter and can be a valuable tool to evaluate the efficacy of the lifesaving programs. If there are programs in place, and they are working, LOS will be shorter. Conversely, LOS will increase if fewer animals leave the shelter to positive outcomes through avenues such as adoption. This week we chat with senior director of national programs for Best Friends, Brent Toellner, about this concerning upward trend in LOS across the country and what shelters and rescue organizations can do to keep animals moving through to positive outcomes.

Happy holidays to you from all of us here at The Best Friends Podcast! This is the busiest time of the year for many in animal welfare, with the end-of-year fundraising efforts in full swing. December is when we often focus on giving to others, but we want to ensure you don't forget about yourself! This week's episode focuses on our personal well-being courtesy of Melissa Treuman, the Senior Director of Communications for https://www.bideawee.org/ (Bideawee). Melissa delivered this presentation during the 2021 Best Friends National Conference. She tells us how applying simple, proven 12-step principles (in and out of the office) can help us reduce stress, cultivate compassion, promote healthy communication, improve relationships, and fulfill personal goals. All of which will help us in our lifesaving work. You can find the slides for Melissa's presentation on https://network.bestfriends.org/proven-strategies/best-friends-podcast/best-friends-podcast-ep-90 (The Best Friends Podcast website). https://bestfriends.org/podcast (https://bestfriends.org/podcast) Click here to check out all the episodes from the podcast.

When was the last time you tried to change someone's mind? A discussion on the internet, perhaps. Maybe a dinner with family or friends led to a heated debate. Or it may have been in your day-to-day work as you try to get everyone on board with proven lifesaving strategies - even though those approaches may be different than what you've always done. Why is it so difficult to change minds? David McRaney is a https://www.davidmcraney.com/press (journalist), https://www.davidmcraney.com/podcast (podcaster), and https://www.davidmcraney.com/new-page-1 (author) who took his fascination with cognitive biases and irrational beliefs a step further for https://www.davidmcraney.com/howmindschangehome (his upcoming book); How Minds Change: The Surprising Science of Belief, Opinion, and Persuasion.  From hot button issues such as climate change or accepting new strategies to save more dogs and cats, David talks with us about the cognitive biases that play a role in all of us being, as he calls it, "unaware of how unaware we are." We also hear why, when it comes to changing a mind, a little bit of empathy goes a long way.

“One of my favourite moments is when a guy, at that certain point in a relationship, says something desperately hopeful like, 'Are you on the pill?' I simply say, 'No, are you?” - Roxanne Gay, Bad Feminist.This week on the podcast we're talking all things contraception. We learn about some very questionable contraceptive methods from hundred of years ago, get the low down on the options available today and ask why the onus for preventing unplanned pregnancy is still on women.And we'll also be talking about Miranda's fave genre of dance reality TV.
