Neuter Before Adoption: Tools to Reach Your NBA Goal
In a perfect world, every agency would sterilize all pets before they go home. It should be the goal of all animal adoption organizations to reach 100% NBA (Neuter Before Adoption). In the real world, however, many agencies struggle to reach this goal. It’s an important responsibility for adoption agencies to sterilize every pet they release to the public; in many states, it’s the law. It’s always a gamble to release pets unsterilized, even with a strong compliance program in place. In addition, most traditional methods of tracking compliance can be very time – and labor-intensive. Therefore, the primary goal is to sterilize as many animals as possible before release and to continue working toward 100% NBA. The secondary goal is to have total, verified compliance for those released with a “promise” program (voucher, deposit, contract, agreement, etc.). This session will address practical ways to address complete NBA and effective “promise” programs while you work toward that goal.
