Redefining Transfer Data for Animal Welfare
Shelter Animals Count with 24Pet/PetPoint
Shelter Animals Count partnered with Jessica Nelson (24Pet/PetPoint) to bring an in-depth webinar exploring transfer data in animal welfare. This session highlighted the importance of standardized practices, understanding the “why” behind transfers, and leveraging data for better outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
- + Standardized Terminology for Better Collaboration: Clear communication is the cornerstone of effective animal welfare operations. Our Animal Welfare Glossary serves as a valuable resource for ensuring organizations speak the same language.
+ The “Why” Behind Transfers: Understanding why animals are transferred is key to uncovering deeper insights and influencing national trends. While tracking who and where is valuable, focusing on reasons like resource availability, emergency response, legal obligations, and transfer returns can provide actionable data to drive meaningful improvements.
- + National Transfer Trends: National data highlights a decline in transfer rates, with dog transfers dropping by 14% since 2019, while cat transfers have risen by 16%. Despite these trends, over 80% of transfers lack documented reasons, leaving significant gaps in understanding and opportunities for improvement.
- + Data Entry Best Practices: Accurate, consistent, and efficient data entry is critical for meaningful reporting. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), standardized subtypes, and automation tools like the PetPoint API can streamline workflows and ensure high-quality data collection.
- + Optimizing PetPoint Software: PetPoint offers tools to enhance data management, including Mobile Checkout for seamless documentation, automated transfers between organizations, and comprehensive reporting capabilities to analyze trends and outcomes effectively.
