The Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia is doing virtual adoptions, according to The Brunswick News.
Adoptions have been a little lower than average, she said, but that’s really not bad taking the COVID-19 outbreak into account. A total of 50 pets were adopted through the virtual system within the first two weeks of its debut.
“It’s been an overwhelming response since we started doing this,” Schlegel said.
s restrictions on business and public interaction are lifted, Schlegel said the humane society will reevaluate every week whether to open the main shelter back up.
“Every Wednesday is the day we do a conference call with a the medical team and the adoption folks and we talk about how it’s going,” Schlegel said.
Virtual adoptions are done by appointment only. Humane society personnel bring the animals out to the new owners rather than letting anyone inside, and Shlegel said they make sure to verify they’re handing them off to the right people.
“We’ll schedule the appointment to pick up the animal and will take it out of the shelter and to their car,” Schlegel said.
The humane society is also still running its pet food bank, recently stocked with supplies from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, she added.
Glynn County Animal Control also received food from GEMA, which is also giving it out to pet owners in need.
Sundance is an 8-year old male mixed breed dog who is available for virtual adoption from The Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia in Brunswick, GA.
