The foster dogs are in foster homes and most of the cats reside at our office. The adoption process includes a lease manager reference (if applicable) , a veterinarian reference, and a home-visit (in-person or virtual). If you've never owned a pet, part of our adoption process requires that you call several vet offices to compare services, prices, and availability. Questions to ask include: How many doctors are at your practice? Can I request to see a specific Vet or would I be scheduled with first available? What are your hours? How much is: annual exam, heartworm test & tablets, an x-ray, vaccines, a non-emergency office call? Do you recommend vaccines every year or every three years? (every 3 yrs as suggested by the AVMA) The pooch that visits your home will go back home with us to allow your family to discuss and ensure he/she is a good fit for your home. There is an adoption agreement and adoption fees are as follows: $300 for Adult Dogs (6yrs & younger) $200 for Senior Dogs (7 yrs and older) $80 for Cats All pets are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm tested (dogs), fiv/leukemia tested (cats), & micro-chipped.
