  • One Health focus that views the pet as a facilitator for better human outcomes
  • Formalized collaborations between human social services, governmental entities and/or animal welfare organizations
  • Program design that actively engages the population being served
  • Demonstration, through data and reports, of positive case outcomes for people and their pets
  • Support of the wider community where the program is situated
