Notes for Ed Boks
Ed,
Nice to see you are working toward a better future. Back when they were taking applications for your job, I applied. And with my app I sent a list of goals. Here are some of the ideas that you might be interested in, and possibly incorporating into your work...
To implement a city wide free spay neuter day by Los Angeles area vets.
a. This program will be implemented by asking volunteers to do a door to door and letter writing campaign to entice vets into the program.
b. To announce the program via Press Release and Radio Public Service Announcements, thereby creating a positive PR campaign for Mayor showing action toward a No/Low Kill city.
To create a volunteer grant-writing task force to acquire the funding to pay for, install and train employees on a PETARK kiosk system which would allow the timely updating the Animal Services website. Thereby having more accurate and up to date information about lost animals, animals for adoption and animals to be adopted by rescue personnel. This would increase the opportunity for all the pets to be adopted.
Or at the very least ask for volunteer photographers to take images of the animals, I am certain local photographers would be willing to donate one day a month.
To ask local animal behaviorist to volunteer one day a month to “temperament” test adoptable pets.
Implement volunteers to strengthen the task force for busting backyard breeders. Allow volunteers to pose as potential buyers to get evidence on litters , breeders, and locations.
To implement a volunteer program to research the best shelters in the nation for productivity, revenue, and low kill and fit those models into a model Los Angeles can most effectively use.
To implement the following strategies for effective and turn-around PR campaign about the city Shelters and LA. Television and radio public service announcement campaign for:
a. “Spay/Neuter” campaign; including the free vet spay/neuter day.
b. “Adopt don’t Buy” campaign for encouraging potential pet owners to look to rescues or shelters for pets rather than breeders.
c. “Project Bottle Feeding” get schools and families to assist in bottle feeding unweaned kittens and puppies, rather than having them breed a family pet for a “family project” or educational purposes.
d. “Backyard dangers” implement a PSA program for warning people about the many dangers of leaving pets in their yards from injuries to theft.
To further the training for Shelter Employees and implement a rewards program for Animal Services employees who successfully and appropriately adopt out the most pets. Rewards can include obtaining donated gift certificates from various LA stores.
Substantially upgrade standards and procedures, including grievances, for accountability for all Animal Services and rescue personnel.
To bring in under budget the building of a new shelter by creating another grant-writing task force for materials to be donated from places such as Home Depot, Lowe’s etc. To work in partnership with such a company would bring great PR for expediting the building of the new shelter.
Good luck Ed!
