14 Follow up s Phone call follow-up We make follow-up phone calls for any animals that have been enrolled into one of your behavior programs and then were successfully adopted. Our goal with the follow up calls is to check in with the patron and try and get information as to how the animal is doing, plus catch any possible behavior concern the patron is having before they are overwhelmed by it. The picture below is so you can see and understand the report that will be printed and on the board. To Run Follow Up Report: Sign in to the computer Sign in to Chameleon Go to the Reports Tab Click on the Reports Tab Click on Run a Report Click on Beh-Follow Ups Key in todays date for Start of Range date is keyed as year, month, day, i.e Key in todays date for End of Range date is keyed as year, month, day, i.e Under Please Select Shelter Location select Both Shelters Click on OK The report will generate. This takes some time. Once the report is generated print it out to begin doing follow ups.
15 Program the animal was enrolled in while in our shelter. Type of follow up needed Person Information Animal Information Before contacting patron you need to look up the animal and verify that no note for the current follow up has been completed.
16 2. Click on memo 3. Look in this section to see memos for this animal 4. Read Memo information 1. Type A# then press F4 1. In the animal behavior screen type in the A# then press F4 to pull up the animal screen. 2. Click on the memo icon in the top right of the animal information 3.

Read the information in that memo text to understand if there was any concern from the last call 5. If there are not **FUD* memo s then you are the first one to follow up with this patron and there is no previous information from patron about the situation. 6. After you have looked up the information you can then use the report to call the patron and the scripts to talk to or leave a message for the patron. 7. When talking to the patron please note that if they want a behavior technician to contact them that you would use the information you are receiving to enter a BHL case. 1. Follow the procedures same as taking a phone message or Patron ID and Animal ID 3. Information about the behavior concern in a BHL memo 8. When you are talking to patron, if they are just talking about how good things are please put this information in a memo specific to that follow up type you are doing. 9. Any overdue calls need to be made first. After overdue calls are completed then the non-overdue follow-up calls are made. After the call is completed using the respective scripts, make up a new memo for the type of call made. Anytime during a call if the patron mentions an illness, etc. with the adopted animal. Refer the patron to Return for Treatment and have them call them immediately. Phone # Anytime there is a patron that comes up on the report and states that they did not adopt the animal. Please leave a copy of the problem on the Customer Care Supervisors desk with a note as to the problem. So they can correct Chameleon.
