All of our cats are treated for parasites when they come in.
Dogs are treated for parasites & immunized w/ the standard 5-way shots. 
By law, rabies vaccinations cannot be given except by a veterinarian. 
If we take an animal to the vet for treatment, it can receive rabies vaccines. 
Please check which treatments your pet has received & give that info to your own vet.
Please consider the cost of good veterinary & preventive care for an animal before adopting it.

REMEMBER...Moving to a new home is STRESSFUL for anyone. 
It takes time to make adjustments, learn new routines, work out relationships. 
BE PATIENT! Give your pets a fair chance to learn, grow & adapt. You'll be rewarded with their love & trust.


There are 45 cats and dogs for every person born.
