Intake Manager/Medical Coordinator Procedures

1)Receive Intake Call info on dog:

  1. If dog from your area, read over eval; if anything jumps out such as major medical concerns, dog aggression, etc then look into it further, such as calling vet for records
  2. Wait for in person eval to be done
  3. For shelter dogs, usually only get the Shelter eval; after receiving this, move to # 2

2)Once Dog Eval comes in: Go over eval and decide if we will accept dog

  1. If denying dog, then call owner to inform them
  2. Send email or call Kay to get a number for dog
  3. Input dog # on both Intake and Eval forms and save (as noted below)
  4. If Intake Mgrs determine dog might be a candidate for a Foster-to-Adopt (F2A), contact Kelli Steinbergbefore sending any info to the Foster Team. If Kelli agrees to an F2A, send her all info (info will not go to the Foster Team at all). IM will follow up on vet records and medical needs but won’t be involved in F2A arrangements.
  5. If dog is accepted to be placed in a foster home, then send both forms and photo(s) to the foster team member who is on duty that week as well as Martha McGuirk, FHC.
  6. Save photos as Quincy # 2328 a, Quincy #2328 b, etc for each photo.
  7. Intake eval should be saved as Quincy #2328 Intake (add GBR # to form)
  8. In person eval should be saved as Quincy #2328 Eval(add GBR # to form)
  9. If only a shelter eval done, save as Quincy #2328 Shelter Eval
  10. Owner release form Quincy #2328 Owner Release
  11. Owner’s vet records Quincy #2328 Owners vet records
  12. GBR vet records Quincy #2328 GBR Vet records
  13. Intake medical sheet Medical Info sheet Quincy #2328
  14. Call owner to let them know we have accepted the dog and what the next steps are; usually that is telling them that we are in the process of finding a foster home which could take a few days to a week (or more) and once the foster has been found then call the owner back to let them know when we will be taking possession of the dog. This is a good time to encourage or remind owner to get the fecal test done and/or any other things that they said they would.
  15. Call owner’s vet(s) to get all records on dog.
  16. Start filling out Intake Medical Sheet for dog so you know what needs to be done.
  17. If you receive a donation check, mail to Laura Jennison: 13154 SW Broadmoor Pl, Tigard OR 97223. Make sure you note dog’s name and # and reason for check such as Surrender Donation on the memo line, or in a note attached to it.

3)Once foster home is found:

  1. Send an email to your set up email group (see below for names for “New Intake Dog Group”) for when a new dog comes in that includes both evals & photo(s) and a brief description on the dog (age, sex, good with cats, no kids, has separation anxiety…anything that is good to know right up front) as well as who will be the foster home and when dog is going to be in the foster home.
  2. Contact foster home to see when is convenient for them to receive dog, who their GBR vet is (most are noted in the Master Foster List), ask them if they are able to get dog into vet or should we try to get dog into vet prior to coming into their home.
  3. Start planning transport of dog to foster home; the foster team can help with this.
  4. Call owner; let them know foster found and when we would like to get the dog.

4)Send vet records and completed Requested Vet Procedures form to foster home’s preferred GBR vet and, if it helps in regard to transport and the foster home getting the dog, have dog transported to vet and have the foster home pick up or meet at vet for appointment.

  1. If foster home is taking dog to the vet then make sure they have a list of requested vet work to take with them. This way they can reference it during the office visit.

5)Send Sentinel to foster home and send an email to Kay Yates with dog’s name, #, weight and when you sent the first Sentinel

  1. If you know dog will be in foster care for a long time (because of medical or such) you can send twoSentinel pills, just let Kay know how many you sent.

6)Contact foster home (or vet) to make sure all requested vet work has been done, if not when it will be done. Should be monitoring dog’s progress.

  1. Remember most dogs will need a Lepto booster in 3-4 weeks after the initial shot
  2. Spay and Neuters, or other types of surgeries usually require a follow up visit
  3. If something was found in the initial vet visit we need to look into it ASAP; such as in need of dental work, mass removals, etc.
  4. We generally do not do dental on most dogs. If the dog has infected gums or has broken or abscessed teeth then yes.
  5. Mass removal is on a case-by-case basis as well. If it is a tiny bump that the vet has no concerns on then it is fine. If the vet has noted it in the chart with concern then we probably want to get it looked into.
  6. A good rule of thumb can also be…will the mass or lump hinder the dog being adopted?
  7. Usually any dog 9 or older we have a Senior Blood Profile done on (also for shelter dogs not in good condition, and for all international dogs).
  8. Get Microchip # and email it to DeeDee Hart. She needs to know microchip #, company, if chip is already registered to previous owner, or is it’s a pre-paid GBR chip. If you get stickers and/or a tag, etc., mail it to her: DeeDee Hart, 1304 35th Ave NW, Salem OR 97304; 503-551-1709 (cell; .

NOTE: Vets who implant HomeAgain chips want the chip registered at the time it is implanted so fosters need to know how to do this:
