Investigative Consultation
MaSA professionals may be contracted to provide assistance with animal neglect, abuse and cruelty investigations, animal attack/bite case investigations, and more. We provide professional investigative input and assistance to the agency's local animal control or other law enforcement officials; provide a detailed written statement of findings; and provide expert testimony on the witness stand during any courtroom proceedings. MaSA investigators have no authority to enforce local or state laws, however they may assist in the investigation of alleged violations of animal care and control related law and provide evidence of their findings to the appropriate local law enforcement authority. Contact us to discuss investigative services and fees.
Organization Review and Analysis
MaSA can provide consultation services in a variety of areas ranging from development of a municipal animal control program or non-profit local humane organization to development of modern animal care and control ordinances; from the development of volunteer programs for nonprofit and municipal shelters to development of community outreach programs. We can be contracted to develop volunteer programs, disaster response plans, media management programs, policies and procedures manuals, and more. We also provide consultation service on development and operation of new or remodeled animal care facilities. We also assess existing animal care and control programs and suggest options to improve the quality and quantity of services provided to the community, the quality and quantity of services provided by a sheltering facility, and the quality of life of animals in the sheltering facility’s care. Contact MaSA to discuss consultation services and fees.
