  • 1.  SOPs

    Posted 09-04-2023 12:38 PM

    Hi everyone! The rescue shelter I work at is trying to write all of our SOPs, everything from intake, care, through to adoptions. I have never written SOPs before, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share the SOPs from the shelters and/or rescues you work at? I do see there are some shared in other forums, but I can't seem to find intake SOP examples in particular.

    Thank you

    Hi Chelsey - I've added a couple of our intake protocols to the Maddie's Library: search under "Palmetto" (for Palmetto Animal League) or "Intake" and they should pop up. It's a start! Hope you find them helpful.

    The American Pets Alive! resources page is a great source of SOPs of all kinds. https://americanpetsalive.org/resources

    Chelsey, 

    You've come to the right place! I did a quick search of "SOPs" here on the forum (top right search field) and found a bunch of SOPs other forum members have shared over the years in our forum library including the two awesome cat and dog intake SOPs Kirstin mentioned above. There's even a "generic SOP template" from the ASPCA. 

    Here's a link to those results.
