The new owner is responsible to pay the vet at that time. The surgery MUST be accomplished as soon as the animal is physically well and able to tolerate the surgery without danger. These situations are RARE and are reviewed on a case by case basis. Any elective surgery that the owner may wish to have done at the same time as the sterilization, such as ear cleaning, declawing, tail docking, etc., are the total responsibility of the owner. The vaccination includes Canine Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2, Coronavirus, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus and Leptospiria.
All dogs are microchipped and cats can be chipped upon request.
Animal Care and Control uses the Home Again microchip and we complete the registration for the new owner with the American Kennel Club Lost Pet Division. We are also concerned that the new animal will be safely confined and have adequate food, water and shelter. We will not adopt a new dog to someone who does not have a fenced yard. We would not like to live at the end of a chain and we don't expect a canine companion to either. We also do not want to endanger the public or someone living in the new owner's home.
