I relinquished an animal to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia yesterday. Why isn’t that animal available for adoption yet?
Once an animal is relinquished to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia, it undergoes a thorough medical examination and behavior assessment process that can take several days. Animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, examined and treated for any medical conditions. After a dog or cat is medically sound and has recovered from any special treatments, it goes through a behavior assessment. Members of our animal care staff are trained to perform behavioral assessments, which involves both handling animals and recording observations. Since moving from a home to a shelter environment can be a stressful experience for any pet, each pet is allowed a few days to acclimate to its new environment before being behaviorally assessed. This ensures that our animal care staff is able to see more of the pet’s “true” nature. While the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia seeks to find homes for as many adoptable pets as possible, we know that rushing the process is not in the best in
