Legal liability for the agency
Improved employee satisfaction

The correct answer is: Legal liability for the agency

Neglecting proper animal care in shelters can lead to legal liability for the agency. When animals are not cared for appropriately, it can result in suffering, disease, or even death. This raises ethical and legal concerns. Agencies may face lawsuits or other legal repercussions from neglectful practices, especially if standards of care are mandated by local laws or regulations. Maintaining a high standard of animal welfare is both an ethical obligation and a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, and failure to comply with these regulations can expose the agency to significant legal risks. This liability serves as a critical reminder of the importance of ensuring that all animals in shelters receive the appropriate level of care and consideration.
