The protocol for this weekend’s adoptions are:
- All potential adopters will be asked to complete the Pennsylvania SPCA’s adoption application on their mobile phones prior to entering the mobile unit.
- All potential adopters will be asked to remain by or in their cars and PSPCA staff will help regulate when households may enter the mobile unit.
- Only one household at a time will be allowed onto NSALA’s Mobile Unit to view the cats. The household cannot exceed three members. (This is reflective of state guidance in phase 2 reopening in Philadelphia.)
- Only one person from the rescue group will be allowed on the unit with the family
- Anyone on the Mobile Unit will be required to wear a mask and gloves (which will be provided) and also maintain social distancing (6 feet apart.)
- Once the family has left, the driver will disinfect the entire mobile unit, cleaning all surfaces, handrails, door handles, and cage latches.
- All adoption paperwork will be finalized outside the mobile unit.
North Shore Animal League America's Mobile Adoption Unit is a climate-controlled shelter on wheels.
Philadelphia Brewing Company is located at 2440 Frankford Ave. in Philadelphia.
