Supporting the Josephine County Animal Shelter
Shelter Friends is a non-profit organization that supports the county, government-run, open intake, animal shelter. They are 100% volunteer run.
Since their launch, they have worked to meet “no-kill status”, meaning that 95% of animals brought in are adopted, reunited with their owner, or transferred. Animals are euthanized only in the case of severe illness or danger to the public, or animals that pass from their illness (ex. neonatal kittens)
They support the shelter in the community through a 3-pronged approach of donations, volunteers, and adoptees.
The Challenge
The ongoing challenge that Shelter Friends has dealt with is a clear identity in the community combined with community awareness of what the county shelter actually provides.
The goal of the project was to be able to build a website that will do a better job of educating people about our volunteer opportunities, support attracting a larger donor audience and support the growth goals of the organization.
The Outcome
They can easily promote and take registrations for their community events. When they have specific needs for the shelter, they highlight the products that are needed. And, people are easily able to get details about their programs, volunteer opportunities, and donate. The biggest outcome was having the information organized better so people don’t have to deal with rabbit trails to find it.
The Proof
