We strongly recommend that all adopters bring their new pups to the vet as soon as possible. All of our dogs are seen by a veterinarian before arriving at our shelter, are up-to-date on their core vaccinations and given standard preventative care, however, it is a great idea to establish a relationship with a vet (especially if you’re a new dog owner), introduce your dog to them, and discuss your plan for care and any additional vaccinations that might be appropriate for your pup.
All of our dogs, including young puppies, are spayed and neutered prior to arrival at our shelter. *In the few instances where age or health prevented alteration, adopters are required to spay or neuter their dogs as soon as their veterinarian advises that it is safe and appropriate to do so. We will follow up to remind you, and will provide a $75 refund upon confirmation from the vet or receipt of an invoice showing that the dog has been altered.*
We pride ourselves on the level of care given to our dogs and make every effort to ensure that they are healthy before going home with their new families. The nature of rescue and working with live animals is such that we cannot make a 100% guarantee about the health or behavior of any animal. Please be aware that All Breed Rescue is not responsible for any unexpected veterinary expenses after the time of adoption.
