The pet you have chosen must fit within any weight and requirements your landlord or community may have, including breed restrictions. (Remember, puppies get bigger!) If you already own animals, they must be up to date on their core vaccines, including but not limited to rabies and other current preventions. We also perform meet & greets between all dogs and family members in the household. If a cat is present in the home, we must perform an in-shelter ‘cat test.
