Consulting

Nathan J. Winograd provides consulting services to animal shelters, rescue groups and municipalities doing business as No Kill Solutions. He has worked, collaborated or consulted with many public and private shelters, municipalities, veterinary colleges, and organizations, including some of the largest, most successful, and best known in the nation.

At this time, consulting services are limited to three types:

1.    Assessments (review and analysis of existing operations);
2.    Executive recruitment; and/or,
3.    Seminars (conferences, workshops, training, and seminars).*

* July 2009 Update: Due to a heavy project schedule, Nathan is only doing conferences/seminars until the Fall. He is not taking on additional clients for assessments or executive recruitment.

If you are interested in assessments or other consulting, please check back at a later time.

Please note: Due to a heavy project and travel schedule, No Kill Solutions is not able to respond to third parties seeking information. For projects done by RFP submitted by the agency itself, a fee-plus-expense based proposal is generated. For non RFP projects, the following form must be filled out by the agency in order to generate a proposal: PDF of Information Request Form.

After working with shelters and municipalities for a number of years, No Kill Solutions has developed a fair and equitable contract which is not subject to revision. Prior to sending an RFP or filling out the Information Request Form, the agency should review and be willing to accept the standard contract: PDF of Standard Contract.
