Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Skagway, AK
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
What does the owner need to do before calling?
Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
