It is not uncommon that the person who answers the door is not the person who owns or is responsible for the animal(s) at issue. If this is the case, collect the name and contact information for this person, who may be a spouse, a roommate, or a family member. Write down your contact information and ask them to give it to the subject. If they refuse, you can post the notice and contact information on the front door, much as you would if no one answered. These individuals usually do not have authority to show you around a property when the animal owner may have an expectation of privacy. If they do feel compelled to offer information about the animal(s) or your investigation, be sure to record those details in the case file, along with the individual's full name, and the date and time of your exchange.
