Sleepover Procedures & Rules

PROCEDURE FOR VOLUNTEERS

1. We are now having everyone get set up as a foster prior to taking a dog on a field trip or sleepover, if you don’t already have a foster application on file we will need that filled out prior to you taking the dog. If you would like to help out this pup or other APA! pups for more than a field trip or a sleepover, please consider fostering them until they get adopted (or at least for 2 weeks). To do that, please fill out the foster application at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/APA/Dog 

2. Completely fill out this form at least 48 hours in advance.

3. Wait for approval.

4. Pick up dogs and CHECK FOR MEDICATION with the Matchmakers in Building B.

5. If you have never received a formal Behavior Consult for this dog, you will need to get that prior to taking the dog. The Matchmakers will get your Behavior Consult arranged and either they or a member of the Behavior Team will reach out to get that done.  If you haven’t received the Behavior Consult prior to picking up, please check in with staff when you pick up. If you have previously received a formal Behavior Consult for this dog please check in with the Matchmakers to make sure there are no new behaviors you need to be aware of. 

6. Write SLEEPOVER or FIELD TRIP with return date and time on the white board before you take them from their kennel!

7. Return the dog; ERASE SLEEPOVER/FIELD TRIP from the white board!  

8. Fill out the Sleepover & Field Trip Feedback Form HERE. Upload any photos using this form HERE.

* Fun Fact: Did you know, in addition to the sleepover feedback form and the regular photo upload form, you can also use the AdoptMe App to add live posts to a dog’s page like a picture/video diary? You can still upload high-quality photos via the Photo Form if you want them to appear in the dog's "banner/slideshow." But the AdoptMe App  pics and captions can be more candid and casual moments from a dog's life. All you have to do is download the app on your phone, and link to Austin Pets Alive's database!


RULES

1. Puppies under 5 months old are NOT fully-vaccinated and thus should not be walked in public places like apartment complexes, parks, pet stores, etc.  If you are taking a puppy to an event please be sure to bring an Xpen and blankets so they are not touching the ground.

2. Puppies and adult dogs on Distemper Watch should not be walked in public places like apartment complexes, parks, pet stores, etc..

3. Keep dog away from kids, cats, and other dogs unless given EXPLICIT permission from management.

4. Keep a collar/harness on the dog at all times and never allow your dog off-leash outside of the home. Use a drag leash at all times if the dog is nervous or scared.

5. Keep out of dog parks and areas where there are off-leash dogs.

6. Use an 'Adopt Me' vest, bandanna, or leash sleeve when out in public.  Ask the Matchmakers when you pick up if you’d like to borrow one!

7. Fill out the Sleepover & Field Trip Feedback Form

By agreeing to a Sleepover/Fieldtrip Program partnership with Austin Pets Alive!, I agree to the following:

Pet's Health and Disposition

Austin Pets Alive! cannot guarantee the health or disposition of any animal. We do not have past records for these animals and there are some risks associated with taking animals home for a sleepover/fieldtrip. Family pets must be current on all shots and sleepover/fieldtrip animals will be kept isolated from family pets unless the sleepover/fieldtrip animal has also had all of its shots and a meet and greet has been conducted or behavior team has approved the sleepover/fieldtrip animal being okay with owned animals without a meet and greet. I agree to be fully responsible for the safety and well being of the sleepover/fieldtrip animal. I will provide a safe, loving, humane environment with adequate food, water and shelter at all times that I have the sleepover/fieldtrip animal with me. I will adhere to all state and local animal laws and all sleepover/fieldtrip animals will wear a collar. I will promptly notify Austin Pets Alive! of any signs of illness, behavioral issues or concerns, if the pet becomes lost, and/or if the pet bites someone.

Transfer of Animals

Animals cannot be transferred to the custody of another person, shelter, humane society, SPCA, or other entity without prior consent and permission of Austin Pets Alive! I agree to not place this pet in another home without the written or verbal authorization from APA, whether it be temporary or permanent.

Return of Animals

Austin Pets Alive! maintains ownership of all sleepover/fieldtrip and animals and all sleepover/fieldtrip animals must be returned within 24 hours of request. I agree that I do not have any right of ownership over the animal I am having over for a sleepover/fieldtrip.

Personal or Property Damage and/or Injury

I agree that accidental animal bites or other injuries to humans and other animals do occur, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify, and protect Austin Pets Alive! from any claim or suit filed by someone as a result of such incident.

In addition, Austin Pets Alive! will not be responsible if animal should damage or destroy property belonging to sleepover/fieldtrip program participant, sleepover/fieldtrip household, or others, or if the animal shall transfer any disease, internal or external parasites to other animals and people in the sleepover/fieldtrip household.

I understand that if I am approved for a sleepover/fieldtrip, this declaration represents a legal contract between me Austin Pets Alive!. I understand that I am a designated caregiver for all animals owned and cared for by Austin Pets Alive!. I understand that if I am approved for a sleepover/fieldtrip of an animal, I must abide by this agreement and that this agreement applies to any and all animals that I take on a sleepover/fieldtrip with Austin Pets Alive!
