In Compliance with the SCHS Adoption Agreement this policy allows the South
Coast Humane Society Adoption Programs to add follow-up visits within a
two (2) week period after placement of an animal. Telephone visits are
acceptable for first time contact; physical visits only when deemed
necessary by adoption chairperson or designee.
Pet owners are provided with a "Welcome Pet Pack" kit. SCHS adoption chairpersons
will review the information kit with each new pet owner. The kit also includes
licensing information.
Each new owner is taught the importance of vaccinations and follow-up
visits to the veterinarian's office.
New pet owners are informed about SCHS and the programs we offer. Fundraising,
the new shelter, and support of the community are discussed. Each new owner
is extended an invitation to attend our meetings.
If a violation of the Adoption Agreement is noted by any follow-up visit
volunteer(s), all pertinent information will be documented in writing and
provided to the adoption chairperson.
