Common use of INTAKE PROCEDURES Clause in Contracts

INTAKE PROCEDURES. For all incoming animals described below, the ACO/SPD will provide clear, immediate written instruction on the kennel door of all such animals to ensure appropriate measures and precautions are taken by volunteers to have no contact with the animal or to provide care for the animal. SPD will ensure its officers are trained in intake procedures with particular attention to posting complete written information on kennels. Upon intake, the ACO/SPD will conduct an initial behavioral and physical assessment to estimate the animal's age, breed, sex, and identify any potential medical or behavioral concerns. When possible, a full medical and behavioral history will be obtained from the previous owner and/or veterinary clinic. All findings will be documented on the Intake Form and Daily Care Log attached to the animal's kennel. If an animal exhibits signs of illness or injury, a veterinarian will be consulted as soon as possible to ensure appropriate treatment and to prevent the spread of disease.
