Collaboration comes in many forms. Maybe the most common type of collaboration in our work is through a coalition—an often large group comprised of stakeholders teaming up to achieve a broader, shared goal of community-wide success.

Another approach to working together is the Best Friends shelter collaborative program, where strategic matches are made between two organizations. One shelter that has a proven track record of achieving and sustaining the 90% benchmark is paired with a shelter that is still working its way toward the goal.

It’s all about judgment-free support, driven by the shared goal of saving every pet that can be saved. Next week we’ll hear from two different organizations currently in this program. This week we get the details from Carrie Ducote, the national senior strategist with the shelter collaborative team at Best Friends.
