Subject: Home Visit Checklist?
From: "Child" Date: Tue, Sep 23, 2003 9:27 PM Message-id: Doing my first home visit for rescue. Does anyone have a checklist for me to use? Check outside for upkeep of property. Trash? Broken Windows? Fence? How Secure? Area for dog? Secure How large? Other dogs in area? Problem dogs? Inside Where the dog will live? How secure for the dog to not escape? Who else (dog people other animals)is in the home that you did not evaluate? Is this a rental? Did you do a landlord check? Myself while I could care less if the house is an ocean side mansion or a studio apartment,if the furniture is tattered or museum quality,I am looking to see it the dog is going to have a secure loving home. Good Luck Paulette~ thanks in advance!! The only thing about resisting temptation is you might not get another chance Paulette~ |

I usually don't worry too much about trash or messes... unless of course the
yard is full of glass or tin cans or something! A home&Garden magazine n=model home usually scares me... how can people with homes like that have a shedding, chewing, peeing dog? Not that neat and clean people can't take care of a dog... I just don't pay that much attention to those things. What I worry more about is how the other pets in the house are doing. Are they socialized , the right weight, do they look happy? And I include all pets on my checklist - including aquariums and reptiles! If there are other dogs I usually discretely have a look at its nails. Naturally worn nails are great - that means the dog gets plenty of exercise, walks and outdoor quality time with its owner. Clipped short nails is second best - means the owner is cautious about the dogs' grooming needs. If the nails are looong I get sceptical. I also ask to see the sleeping- and feeding areas. Then I check fences and gates. I usually try to have a conversation rather than "inspecting". There is a lot you can learn from just talking about people. What happened to their other pets? Will they attend training classes? I usually go by gut feeling rather than chacklists... but that's just me. Kate |
