How We Expand Our Network of Animal Funds 🧡 🐾

Why expanding the fund database matters

Small shelters and grassroots initiatives across Georgia often lack reliable partnerships and access to shared resources. By growing our database of funds and partner organizations, TailsPal aims to improve response times for rescue, medical care, and foster placement. A broader network helps distribute support more fairly and reduces pressure on single organizations.

Our approach: discovery and outreach

We start locally: listening to volunteers, monitoring community channels, and noting active initiatives. After identifying potential partners, we reach out respectfully to introduce TailsPal’s mission and explain how we can collaborate. Many organizations are stretched thin, so clarity and empathy are essential in initial contacts.

Vetting and selection criteria

When considering a new partner, we look for:

• transparent financial or operational records when available;
• clear contact persons and basic organizational information;
• willingness to share current needs and availability (beds, medical aid, transports);
• adherence to basic animal care and veterinary practices.

Listing an organization in our database only happens with consent. Verification combines document review, photos, and references from other community members.

Tools and data management

A centralized partner registry helps keep information usable and secure: profile cards with contacts, services, locations, and up-to-date needs. Access to the database is managed through internal channels to protect privacy and ensure accuracy.

We encourage partners to update their profiles regularly via short surveys and direct messages so the data stays relevant in emergencies.

Building lasting relationships

A network is more than a directory. We cultivate trust through:

• joint actions and on-site visits;
• knowledge-sharing sessions and practical workshops;
• occasional material or logistical support when possible;
• transparent reporting on outcomes from joint efforts.

These activities help partners become more resilient and effective.

How you can help

You can support growth by:

• recommending verified organizations through our feedback channels;
• volunteering for introductory outreach or administrative help;
• sharing professional skills (accounting, legal, communications);
• amplifying partners’ needs within your communities.

Looking ahead

We will continue expanding the database carefully, prioritizing trust and quality. New data tools and regular partner meetings will improve our collective response to urgent cases.

If you represent a fund or shelter and want to join, contact the TailsPal profile to start a conversation. We welcome every organization and are open to practical collaboration formats.
