Animal Services Consultation (ASC)

Your Partner for Change

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) understands the variety of problems you face. Through our Animal Services Consultation (ASC) program we study and evaluate every aspect of your animal services agency. We then provide you with the tools to help streamline your operations and develop innovative, cost-effective programs that serve your community and protect its animals.

We tailor the evaluation to meet your specific needs by utilizing a team of experts in the field of animal sheltering. Our team examines each issue, program, or policy in the context of your entire operation. We recognize that the success of any animal services agency hinges on tightly integrated programs.
