Suggested Resolution:

If you have ANY doubts about releasing this animal to this claimant at this time because you are not completely sure that this is the legal owner of this animal, please place a HOLD on the animal. It will continue in our care until we can be sure of the ownership. Please reassure this claimant that nobody else will be able to take the animal until we have resolved the confusion; however, we must hear back from claimant within 72 hours to consider their claim valid. Be sure claimant knows to contact us EVERY DAY until the situation is resolved. Be sure this claimant has all the command center contact information. Start a contact log. Do NOT leave this animal alone with a claimant until the situation is fully resolved. This animal may have supervised visitation only. Please be sure to present this situation at the daily debriefing. [ ] Rresolved and released OR [ ] Animal placed on hold and (other claimant name)        notified
