      Decision Tree

    Any time you see this it means that we are looking for help, through crowdsourcing, to answer the following questions: The Decision Tree will take people through a series of questions that will lead them to the best Best Pathway to Assistance–Checklist of What to Do. It will lead people through a series of questions that will lead them to a good course of action.

    Example: Decision Tree under the Topic or Main Heading: Dogs and the Subheading: Unwanted Dog

    Question 1 Reason Dog is Unwanted? (Choose one: Behavior, Moving, No $$$ for Food, No $$$ for Veterinary Care, etc.)
    Response to Question 1 will be tips, ideas, organizations & resources or ways to solve the issue.

    Question 2 if the dog is still unwanted after Question 1: Where did you originally get the dog from? (Choose one: Local Animal Rescue, Breeder, etc.)
    Response to Question 2 will be tips, ideas, organizations & resources or ways to solve the issue. For example, if the dog was adopted through a local animal shelter than all reputable animal rescue groups want and accept their own dogs back if they become unwanted. There will be tips & ideas about how to remember which animal rescue adopted out the dog.

    Question 3 and beyond. Questions and responses continue based on the most frequently asked questions and best responses available.

    This topic of XXX currently has no Decision Tree, we need your help.
