What An Adoption Includes:
Spay

All animals must be spayed or neutered before they go home with an adopter*.
The surgery is performed the next available business day at the shelter or
at a contracted vet. The adopter picks up his/her altered animal in the afternoon
before the shelter or the vet hospital closes.
Preventative
Vaccinations
For dogs and puppies, they receive the Bordetella and DHPP vaccinations. For
cats and kittens, they receive the FVRCP vaccination.
Rabies
Vaccination
Rabies vaccinations are for dogs and cats over the age of 4 months. If a pet
is under 4 months of age, then the adopter receives a free rabies vaccination
coupon that may be redeemed at the shelter once the pet reaches the required
age.
