When you’re inundated with shelter dogs and every kennel is full, it can be difficult to know what move to make next. In these moments, shelter leaders need to look at the data, assess the situation, and make quick decisions about how to address the specific issue at hand. In this session, we’ll review real data sets to think critically together about the differences between data and perception and how using the data will address the underlying problem. Attendees will complete their own decision-making template and practice planning a data-driven intervention.
