Description
During the past 15 years, much valuable research has been completed about the sources of shelter overpopulation in the United States. At the same time, scores of new programs have been established. Experience has shown that the most effective programs have used research findings and other data to design their programs. The information in this book:
- Identifies the core principles which underlie the most effective programs;
- Provides examples of programs that animal control agencies, humane organizations, veterinary practitioners, and advocacy groups can use to reduce overpopulation in their communities;
- Discusses the most important research studies and the implications of their findings for the design of programs;
- Includes recommendations about how veterinarians working in shelters and spay/neuter programs can play a vital role by providing a link between research and program design; and
0 Provides suggestions about future research that can be used to increase the effectiveness of shelter adoption programs, feral cat management programs, pet sterilization programs and pet retention programs.
