All dogs start their vaccines, are tested for heartworm disease (dogs 6 months and older), wormed, treated for fleas, and are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. The adoption fee also includes a dog license
All cats start their vaccines, are tested for feline leukemia, wormed, treated for fleas, and are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
