Morrow County Do you allow people to go into the kennel area to see the dogs? Yes, after they sign in. If so, do you have the visitor sign a waiver? Visitors no, volunteers yes. Do visitors go into the kennel area alone or does a dog shelter employee/volunteer accompany them? Staff does not, however there is a large viewing window that the staff monitors the kennel from. Once volunteers are provided specific info (training) they can walk dogs without staff by their side. Or, does a shelter employee/volunteer bring dogs to a visiting area? The shelter has a small “play/meet and greet room” that staff will bring dogs to for people to meet and spend time with—in an effort to help them make a wise decision about adoption. Does an employee/volunteer remain with the dog at all times? In most situations yes. Our reception area/playroom etc are quite small so staff is always within a few feet. Are there cameras at your shelter to capture any mishaps? Not currently but that is on the list to be completed. Our shelter is less than a year old.
