How we choose partnership programs 🧡 🐾

Why we choose partners carefully

TailsPal focuses on practical help for animals in Georgia. Partnerships extend our reach, but we only join programs that clearly improve animal welfare and work transparently with communities. This post explains our selection criteria and the steps we take to evaluate potential partners.

Key selection criteria

• Mission alignment: the program should support animal protection, rescue, or welfare.
• Tangible benefit to animals: prioritise projects that improve health, shelter conditions, or adoption chances.
• Transparency: clear financial reporting and open communication.
• Operational capacity: the partner should have the staff, plan, and basic resources to carry out activities.
• Legal and ethical compliance: follow local laws and humane standards.
• Community involvement: projects engaging local volunteers and residents are stronger.
• Monitoring readiness: willingness to set indicators and share results.

Our practical evaluation process

Initial screening

We request a brief project summary, goals, and contact details. This helps us quickly check mission fit.

Documents and verification

If the project passes the first check, we ask for basic documents: registration, governance info, an outline budget, and references.

Site visits and conversations

When possible, we visit project locations or hold detailed meetings to observe conditions and meet the team.

Pilot phase and agreement

Often we start with a pilot or memorandum that spells out responsibilities, timelines, and indicators of success.

Monitoring and feedback

Partners provide regular reports. We evaluate progress together and suggest adjustments based on observed outcomes.

Practical tips for organizations that want to partner with us

• Prepare a concise project description: objectives, target animals, and expected outcomes.
• Collect essential documents: registration, budget overview, and short bios of key team members.
• Define how you measure success: specific indicators (e.g., number of sterilizations, animals rehomed, or improved shelter conditions).
• Be open to pilots and joint monitoring.
• Plan for local community engagement to increase sustainability.

Final thoughts

We partner thoughtfully because our priority is real, measurable improvement in animals’ lives. Transparency, clear benefits for animals, and a collaborative approach are what we look for. If your work matches these values, we welcome your proposal and will guide you through the next steps.

Thank you for supporting animals and working toward long-term solutions with TailsPal.
