Is this for a shelter or a private rescue? . The shelter should

advise
you of what they are looking for and should have already

interviewed
the potential owner.


Why would it make a difference if it was a shelter or private

rescue?

Hi Paulette,
I just thought that shelters and and animal societies have
guidelines you have to follow and (in the UK)they usually interview
the potential owners before the home check so really the home check is
checking for safety and that the people are who they say they are ,
just things like that .


I always do the phone interview first, and then a home visit at my house for
them to visit the dogs, and then a home visit, usually, and definitely if
something is not *right* I will do a home visit.

By private rescue I meant someone who has to rehome their dog or has
rescued one and is not backed by an organisation .


Well take it form me I do it on my own for my Chessies and believe you me I am
*backed* : )

They might not have
done an interview or know what to ask or look for , so your home
check would be much more thorough .


I have said so may times that a home visit or an evaluation is only as good as
the volunteer.

So I am not big on ANY rescue person doing ANYTHING if there is not a mentor
there to check over what the newbie volunteer does or does not do.
