The Fridge

Many wonderful animals are waiting for loving homes. Our cats live in a cageless environment, our rabbits play daily in exercise pens, and our dogs live in foster homes. So our animals are happy, friendly, and Prior to adoption, all Red Door animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, vet-checked and microchipped. Adopters get a complete copy of all medical records. Cats are tested for FIV and FelV. Dogs are tested for heartworm. Both cats and dogs receive distemper and rabies vaccines; dogs receive the bordatella vaccine as well. Rabbits are vaccinated for RHDV2. The adoption fee is $125 for cats and rabbits, $350 for dogs. Adopters must be 22 years old. Current photo identification must show your correct address.
