First, we would like to thank the authors and editors of the first edition of Animal Behavior for Shelter Veterinarians and Staff. Dr. Emily Weiss, Ms. Heather Mohan‐Gibbons, and Dr. Stephen Zawistowski astutely recognized the need for and importance of a book like this to further the progression of animal sheltering, and their work has laid a solid foundation on which we were able to capitalize. Their enthusiasm and advice as they handed over the reins for the second edition were much appreciated.

We would also like to acknowledge the support and encouragement of our colleagues. Drs. Lila Miller, Stephanie Janeczko, Chumkee Aziz, Erin Doyle, and Elise Gingrich provided thoughtful input on content, played roles as guest editors, and, perhaps most invaluable, served as sounding boards throughout the process. Ms. Rachel Maso assisted in managing this project and enthusiastically took on the unenviable tasks of handling contracts and accounting. Ms. Laura Nelson assisted with preparation of figures, and Carey Parrack provided administrative support, allowing us to focus on content and manuscript preparation.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge the ASPCA’s Executive Leadership Team, particularly Ms. Bert Troughton, Ms. Stacy Wolf, and our CEO, Mr. Matt Bershadker, for recognizing the value a project like this brings to the field of animal welfare at‐large and allowing us to devote time to the effort.
