PACT wants to ensure that a foster pet is being placed into a safe and secure home. In most cases, a home visit will be virtual. We just want to make sure that the animals will be safe, loved, and well taken care of in their foster homes.   When a PACT conducts a home visit, we are not looking to judge your decorating skills, or really the cleanliness of your house.  Although if the house is trashed, or really dirty, it’s not really a safe house for a new animal. We will look for things like holes in fences, fences that are too low, or other issues that may make them easy for the new animal to escape.  Windows without latches or screens that may allow escape.   Exposed wires or debris and trash in the animal’s possible new environment that may pose a safety hazard.   House plants that are poisonous to animals that aren’t out of reach. We also like to see where the animal will be kept, where other animals in the household are kept, and where exercised.
