Meet Amy Nichols, the new vice president of Companion Animals
for The HSUS
She started with the rescue of one baby bird. And now she can't wait to do bigger things.
"When I was about 8 years old, I was outside exploring the area around the church gym where my older brother was playing basketball. There were a lot of old trees and multiple window wells near the base of the building, and I was looking at some rocks when I heard a rustle in the leaves and some soft peeping noises. I walked over to the next window well and looked down to see a baby blue jay hopping around. He had some feathers, but only tiny little wings, with no way to get out of the three-foot-deep well. He must have been blown out of his nest during the previous night’s storm. I immediately began to look around for a box or something I could put him into.

Shelter employee engagement
& development survey
The Shelter Employee Engagement & Development Survey is a consultation service designed to help private and public animal shelters run better by surveying employees and making specific recommendations based on the results. The survey won't ask about your protocols for cleaning cat cages. Instead, it will focus on how employees view the experience of working for your organization. They will report how they feel about teamwork, communication, supervision and more. After the results are tabulated, the SeeDS team will present you with findings and assist with a plan for improvement. Learn more.
