Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello! I'm curious about how different organizations manage intake inquiries for animals. Do you use a traditional waiting list system? How is it managed effectively? And when someone reaches out, how do you respond? Do you notify them if they're denied or removed from the list? Plus, do you provide resources if you can't take in an animal? I'd love to hear about your experiences and best practices! Thanks!

We maintain a waiting list and provide them with a list of other possible shelters. We do offer assistance in other ways if we can-such as food to help them provide for the animal, free spay/neuter...depending on what the issue is, we will provide help if we can. We also tell them if the situation becomes an emergency to call us as we will do our best to get them in sooner. We check back in every week and a half to two weeks to update them on where they stand. If we are not at maximum capacity, we sometimes will just schedule surrenders out a week or so.
