Additional adoption info

PUPPIES

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.

ADULTS

Adult dogs are dogs that are ages 1 – 6 years old. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $300.

They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and if age allows spay/neutered.
