When placing a pet in a new home, it is your responsibility to ensure the adopter is fully committed and capable of providing a lifelong, safe, and loving environment. Please follow these essential guidelines:

Adopter Communication & Updates
Always confirm that the adopter is willing to provide regular updates about the pet. If you have an adoption contract, ensure it is signed and properly documented.

Accurate Information
Obtain the adopter’s full and exact address. This is crucial for follow-ups and in case of any concerns regarding the pet’s wellbeing.

Commitment Awareness
Clearly explain that adopting a pet is a long-term commitment of 10+ years. This includes caring for the pet during illness and covering veterinary expenses.

Health & Medical Follow-Up
Mandatory follow-ups should include vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick prevention. Spaying or neutering must also be enforced if not already completed.

Wellbeing Checks
Monitor the pet’s adjustment and happiness in their new home. If the animal appears distressed or neglected, arrange a visit. If necessary, reclaim the pet.

Ongoing Responsibility
Your responsibility toward the animal does not end with adoption. Ensure the pet continues to live in a healthy and safe environment.

Fraud Prevention
Exercise caution. Individuals may present themselves well, but could have malicious intentions. Always screen adopters thoroughly to prevent abuse, abandonment, or worse outcomes.

Your vigilance can make the difference between a rescued life and a tragic fate. Stay alert, and always prioritize the animal’s best interest.

إرشادات هامة لتبني الحيوانات الأليفة

عند تسليم حيوان أليف إلى منزل جديد، تقع على عاتقك مسؤولية التأكد من أن المُتبنّي ملتزم بالكامل وقادر على توفير بيئة آمنة، محبة، ودائمة للحيوان. الرجاء اتباع الإرشادات الأساسية التالية

التواصل مع المُتبنّي والمتابعة
تأكد دائمًا من أن المُتبنّي مستعد لتزويدك بتحديثات منتظمة عن حالة الحيوان. إذا كان لديك عقد تبنّي، احرص على توقيعه وتوثيقه بشكل مناسب

المعلومات الدقيقة
احصل على العنوان الكامل والدقيق للمُتبنّي. هذا ضروري للمتابعة في حال وجود أي مخاوف تتعلق بصحة وسلامة الحيوان

التوعية بالالتزام
اشرح بوضوح أن تبنّي الحيوان هو التزام طويل الأمد قد يمتد لأكثر من 10 سنوات، ويتضمن الرعاية أثناء المرض وتحمّل التكاليف البيطرية

المتابعة الصحية والطبية
يجب أن تشمل المتابعات الإلزامية: التطعيمات، إزالة الديدان، والوقاية من البراغيث والقراد. يجب أيضًا التعقيم أو الإخصاء إذا لم يتم مسبقًا

التحقق من رفاهية الحيوان
راقب تأقلم الحيوان وسعادته في منزله الجديد. إذا بدا عليه التوتر أو الإهمال، رتب لزيارة. وإذا لزم الأمر، استعد الحيوان

المسؤولية المستمرة
مسؤوليتك تجاه الحيوان لا تنتهي بمجرد التبني. تأكد من أن الحيوان يعيش في بيئة صحية وآمنة على الدوام

الوقاية من الاحتيال
كن حذرًا. قد يظهر بعض الأشخاص بصورة لطيفة وراقية، لكن نواياهم قد تكون سيئة. قم دائمًا بفحص المُتبنّين بدقة لتفادي إساءة المعاملة أو التخلي عن الحيوان أو تعرّضه للخطر

يقظتك قد تصنع الفرق بين حياة تم إنقاذها ومصير مأساوي. ابقَ متيقظًا، وكن دائمًا صوت الحيوان ومصلحته أولاً
