Tom CandyGUEST
Lots of rescues in the UK are moving towards all paid staff because I think we've realised some of those difficulties.

Tom CandyGUEST
They're 100% are still like 100% volunteer organisations too, but they do tend to be the foster-based organisations because once you have a building... things do change.

Tom CandyGUEST
But I think the big difference in the UK is, particularly over the last few years, a lot of the legislation and laws around volunteers have changed.

And so when we're building the skills to help these pets in the shelter, when we're teaching the staff, you know, how does staff get that information? Tell me a little bit about your mentorship program and the advice and the support system that you have available for trainers in general, but specifically training for shelter staff.
