Trauma-informed sheltering: Sheltering and rehabilitating traumatized animals using a holistic, cooperative approach
Each year, the Humane Society of the United States Animal Rescue and Response team assists law enforcement agencies nationwide with numerous large-scale cruelty cases and disasters, rescuing hundreds of animals in crisis. Ranging from sensory-deprived puppy mill survivors and large-scale neglect survivors with significant medical issues to victims of dogfighting who have endured horrendous abuse, animals in our care typically have profound trauma that must be identified and addressed. Years of experience operating short- and long-term temporary shelters has provided the opportunity to think creatively about ways to effectively shelter and treat traumatized animals. By reimagining our response, we can dramatically change the shelter experience for animals and caregivers alike. In this presentation, we will discuss HSUS? partnerships with local organizations and medical professionals, and the unique approaches our team employs to heal the mind, body and spirit of victims of crisis and cruelty.
