In Colorado, four (4) large animal shelters practiced Socially Conscious Sheltering without having articulated it as such.\u00a0 The CEOs of these shelters (Jan McHugh Smith, Judy Calhoun, Lisa Pederson and Apryl Steele) met to discuss their animal welfare beliefs, including shelter practices. Out of that conversation came the Socially Conscious Sheltering (SCS) model.\u00a0 The model was then shared with shelter CEOs from across the United States for their feedback, each shelter with different communities, intake policies and levels of community engagement.\u00a0 The insight was incorporated into the fundamental goals of Socially Conscious Sheltering, and a website,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scsheltering.org\/\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"http:\/\/www.scsheltering.org\/\">www.scsheltering.org<\/a>, was created.
