Expert Shelter Support, No Matter Where You Are.

Partnering with Shelters Remotely to Build Stronger Teams and Better Outcomes.

Turning Good Ideas Into Great Programs — Remotely

Shelters often begin big projects with the best intentions, but limited time and competing priorities can keep even the best plans from moving forward. Maybe you have an outline that needs action, or just a great idea that needs structure. That’s where I come in, and I can do it all remotely.

From behavior-forward volunteer trainings to daily care procedures and medical intake protocols, I help shelters bring their ideas to life without the need for an on-site visit. Whether your project is half-built or still a concept, I’ll create a customized, actionable plan that’s built to last — thoughtful, sustainable, and worth the investment.

  • A truly effective enrichment program goes beyond toys and treats - it supports the whole animal. Using the internationally recognized Five Domains model (Nutrition, Environment, Health, Behavior, and Mental State), I help shelters implement best-practices enrichment programs that are thoughtful, practical, and deeply rooted in animal welfare science.

    Through virtual collaboration, I’ll assess your current resources and routines, identify gaps and opportunities, and design a customized enrichment framework that fits your shelter’s daily operations. You'll receive staff and volunteer guidance, planning tools, daily and weekly schedules, and behavior tracking templates — everything needed to build a sustainable program that improves quality of life and supports better outcomes for your animals.

  • Clear, compassionate onboarding is the foundation of a strong, confident team, but building one often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. I help shelters remotely design and implement customized onboarding programs for staff and volunteers that set expectations, reduce turnover, and create a culture of accountability and support from day one.

    Whether you're starting from scratch or refining what you already have, I’ll work with you to build role-specific training plans, orientation materials, safety protocols, and communication systems that reflect your shelter’s values and day-to-day realities. The result? A consistent, sustainable onboarding experience that helps every team member feel informed, empowered, and prepared to succeed.

  • No two shelters are the same, and your behavior and operations programming shouldn’t be either. I will work closely with your team to develop customized solutions that align with your population, staffing, resources, and goals. Whether you're building a behavior program from the ground up or refining existing practices, every recommendation is tailored to your unique challenges and strengths.

    From staff workflows to dog pathways, training protocols to outcome planning — this is programming that fits your shelter, not the other way around.
