Our Tenets
Our Tenets
First and foremost, "IT'S ABOUT THE DOGS". While we can't save them all, we do our best for those we can. Each day is full of urgency, stress, competing priorities, crazy logistics, ever changing plans, heartbreak, joy and more. It makes our heads spin!
How do we do it? Teamwork! We have THE BEST VILLAGE ANYWHERE with a common vision and mission. We are often referred to as being a “Hive Mind”. To achieve our goals, we concentrate to:
Collaborate, Cooperate, Coordinate and Communicate with Each Other
Recognize our limits Physically, Financially and Emotionally
We can’t help the dogs if we burn out or over extend
Recognize Volunteer Time is Discretionary
Help Each Other and Likewise ASK FOR HELP if Needed
Juggle Changing and Competing Priorities
Evaluate incoming dogs for Adoptability
Be Adaptable and Flexible
Respect for Each Member
Agree to Disagree
TRANSPARENCY
IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT THE DOGS, NOT EGO’s
