It’s human nature to overanalyze a problem in an attempt to solve it, but the real key to finding breakthrough solutions and generating positive change is studying successes, not failures. The Bright Spots podcast series is all about celebrating shelter wins and encouraging other shelters to copy—or adapt—what works. In every episode, Dr. Sara Pizano of the Million Cat Challenge and Team Shelter USA speaks with some of the animal sheltering world’s brightest stars about their successes and what other organizations can take away from their experience.
Here are just three bright spots among many featured on the podcast:
- In one year, Stanislaus County Animal Shelter went from a 67% save rate to over 90% AND they are actively helping partner shelters by transferring animals into their shelter.
- Santa Rosa County Animal Services increased their live release rate from 13% to over 93% at record speed.
- Ohio’s Animal Resource Center dropped feline intake from 1,895 cats to 23 and was named Agency of the Year in 2020.
