Animal Releases

An Animal that comes into an RSPCA Shelter via the inspectorate team will be added with:

Stage = On Hold

Animal Status = Protective Custody/Hold (or similar)

A validation rule will prevent the Animal from being moved to an Animal Status that does not contain the words 'Protective Custody' unless the Released By field is completed on the Animal Record.

To access the Animal Released and Released By fields on the Animal Record, go to the Details tab and click into the Tracking section.

To release an animal, update this section of the record and then change the Animal Status.

Updating this information will not notify the shelter that the animal has been released. Please also take this step after updating the animal record.

When the Animal is released, update the Stage and Animal Status.

  • Stage = Processing

  • Animal Status = Released/Forfeited to Shelter

You can access a Protective Custody Hold view under the Animals Tab. Pin this as your default view to see it each time you access the Animals Tab.

You can also access this report which identifies the Owner of the Intake Animal record.

Click into the Intake Animal record via the Intake Animal ID if you would like to change the Owner of the record.

You can also see the Protective Custody Animals Dashboard from the Home Tab in the Inspectorate App.
