Managed and Diverted Intake

Thursday, Feb. 17, 10:00am-noon

Jen Adkins and Alesha Davidson

Managed and diverted intake is the process in which shelters are transparent with their community and empower their community to solve problems outside of the shelter’s walls by working together. Managing intake is not about saying “no” to animals but instead working to find the best solution for that animal which also allows the shelter to better prepare for the animals in their care. Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of what managed and diverted intake is and isn’t, the rationale and benefits of the program, including resources for stray animals and owner retention.

Relevant for: Intake staff, field staff, supervisors
