What happens after a rescue collects intake information on a dog? In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert Forto and Robin Lucas break down how rescues actually use intake data to make real decisions about placement, medical care, foster needs, and adoption readiness.
They explain how dogs are assigned to specific tracks, why the first 24 hours matter, how rescues assess operational risk, and why internal notes must be separated from public-facing adoption language. The episode also features Inu, a six-year-old Shiba Inu returning to rescue and in need of a new home or foster placement.
