Shelter Strategies for Success featuring Cameron Moore
In this episode, we delve into shelter operations with Cameron Moore, a consultant at Maddie's® Shelter Strategy and Operations. Cameron shares practical recommendations that have positively impacted shelters without requiring any extra resources. She discusses overcoming barriers involving the public and offers advice for post-pandemic challenges faced by shelters.
Cameron Moore is a Maddie’s® Shelter Strategy and Operations Consultant and attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida.
Cameron oversees shelter engagement for Maddie’s Million Pet Challenge and the Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida. She works directly with municipal and nonprofit organizations to help improve efficiencies while increasing lifesaving. Since 2013 she has completed over 125 shelter consultations in 22 states, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Recommendations provided are fiscally responsible, address enforcement efficiencies to provide for public and animal safety, productively decrease intake with alternatives to intake, decrease length of stay in the shelter, and increase live outcome to end euthanasia as population control. Attention is paid to removing barriers and redundancies while addressing the 4 rights (the right care, time, place, and outcome).
