Animal rescues often fail because the directors of the organization are inexperienced in running a business. They may be unable to manage staff, funds, or clients to their best advantage. Inexperience in working with board members and donors can lead to a lack of organizational support.
Poor communication among staff and volunteers will result in an inefficient workplace where employees feel that they aren't valued or appreciated for their time and effort. This can create a toxic workplace that fails quickly as people leave.
