ANGELS IS CHANGING HOW WE OPERATE DUE TO THE COVID-19 HEALTH
CRISIS
Tuesday, APRIL 3, 2020
To comply with CDC guidelines and to deal
with the lack of medical supplies and to keep stocks high for
human medicine the following steps are being put into place
immediately.
These steps will remain
in place until the crisis is over.
ADOPTION CENTER:
Hours change
Friday early closing at 6 PM
In an effort to keep our guests,
volunteers and staff as safe as possible, we will be changing
how our adoption process works for the time being.
1.
During this time there will be
NO CASUAL VISITS to
browse retail or the adoption center.
2.
We are trying to limit the
number of people coming into the shelter. If you are serious
about adopting a dog or cat, please fill out a pre-adoption
form on our website
www.angelsforanimals.org.
3.
Once you are approved, we will
call you and set up a time for you to come and visit and
hopefully find a new forever friend.
4.
If you come to the shelter in
person, you will be asked to fill out the pre-adoption form in
your car and will be scheduled for an appointment, most likely
NOT the same day.
5.
Visitors will be LIMITED
6.
If you or anyone in your
family is ill or may have been exposed, do not visit the
shelter at this time.
SPAY-NEUTER:
1.
All non-critical spay-neuter
surgeries are being
LIMITED.
Exceptions will be made for pregnant or in
emergency/in-distress animals.
All special programs will be honored after the crisis
is over.
2.
Anyone coming for a spay-neuter
that is not-cancelled will be checked in outside and need to
remain in their vehicle until the assistants can get to you.
This will result in longer wait times for the same
services so be prepared to wait.
3.
If you or anyone in your
family is ill or may have been exposed, call us to reschedule
your appointment.
You will not lose your deposit for last minute
cancellations during this crisis.
VET-CLINIC:
1.
At this time we will continue
to see veterinary patients for sick and end-of-life visits.
However social distancing will be in force and you may
need to wait in the lobby while we examine your animal.
In many cases you will NOT be permitted in the exam
rooms during your visit.
2.
If you or anyone in your
family is ill or may have been exposed, call us to reschedule
your appointment.
You will not lose your deposit for last minute
cancellations during this crisis.
VOLUNTEERS:
1.
Volunteer shifts are still open
to care for the shelter animals, however if you do not feel
comfortable leaving you home at this time please call and
cancel with the crew/leader or department manager in whose
department you volunteer.
2.
If you or anyone in your
family is ill or may have been exposed, please immediately
call off, for the next two weeks.
We hope that during this uncertain time,
we can minimize the number of people in our clinic and shelter
and follow CDC guidelines as they are as of now.
We will continue to do our due diligence
in not only our normal sanitizing procedures, but have even
more protocols in place to make everything within our shelter
as safe as possible.
As the situation is rapidly evolving, we will keep you updated to
anymore changes.
