Fritzi is the cutest fluffy tan puppy who wants to talk to you and stick by your side all of the time. He also has the cutest underbite! He weighs around 20 pounds and is 10 months old. Our adoption fee of $80 helps offset the cost of preparing our guests to enter a forever home! While expenses for each animal varies, the average healthy dog or cat receives $500 in medical treatment between intake and adoption. Variables in the cost are conditional based on guest needs with some topping out at thousands of dollars. Our adoption always includes: Basic health and wellness check by trained vet staffSpay/NeuterMicrochip with registrationUp-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies vaccine)Deworming, heartworm prevention and flea controlBasic Groom/BathFeline leukemia/FIV Combo testHeartworm testPost Adoption Benefits:Complementary veterinary wellness exam from AllPets Veterinary Clinic30-day free pet insurance policy from Trupanion30-day subscription to DOGtvLIFEtime Commitment from LIFEHouse for AnimalsLIFEtime Pet Companion Support from LIFEHouse for Animals A best friend for life!
