 Congratulations
on the adoption of your new family member!
Thank you for choosing the Friends
For The Dearborn Animal Shelter for the adoption of your new 4-legged family
member. We want to help make sure that you enjoy a happy life
together.
As a first step, you received an
adoption packet that we hope assists in a smooth transition for your new pet and
your entire family.
This adoption packet includes two
timely issues that we want to highlight for you so you do not miss out on
the benefits:
(1)
PetFirst Healthcare Pet Insurance (you must contact them within
20 days of your pet adoption): Your adoption packet
contains information on PetFirst Healthcare Pet Insurance. This is health insurance
for your pet and the first month of coverage is only $5. But, you
must contact them within 20 days of your pet's adoption to secure this discounted
rate. It could take a few days for the insurance to become activated,
so please contact them as soon as possible. Although we hope that your
new pet remains healthy, this insurance can help defray any medical costs
that may accrue during the first month after the adoption. In addition,
you may keep your pet enrolled in the insurance program after the first month,
for a monthly premium cost. Please contact Pet First Healthcare
to enroll,
www.petfirstadoption.com or call 1-866-937-PETS (7387).
(2)
Shelter Animal Trainer: Pet and owner education is a natural part of
the adoption process; it takes time to get used to each other. Our staff is
here to help you with questions or problems you may experience. Please contact
us at the first sign of a problem. Should you have behavioral challenges
wiwth your pet and need assistance, we have a Certified Pet Dog Trainder on
staff that specializes in dogs and cats. We also urge you to consider training
classes and we offer both group classes and individual session (read
more and check our the schedule). A training class can help avoid
and help solve problems. You can contact our trainer, Linda, at daslthomas@aol.com.
 We
are continually working to improve our adoption experience
and would appreciate it if you would take a moment to
help us with your insights - it is only 5 brief questions
and should take you only a minute or two. To say
thanks, we'll then link you to a Ready Reference Sheet
of Shelter Services for your new pet.
