#982B: Nev Fisher, Executive Director of the Coalition for Pet Progress in St Louis, discusses the importance of shelters working cooperatively — which often they do not, to their own detriment. Nev discusses how multiple shelters in one area all share the same goal — the rescue and rehoming of pets — but unfortunately often find themselves in competition for community support and funds.
