Some of the medical costs that are encountered
when we rescue a dog and prepare it for adoption include
the following:
- an initial exam
- Rabies vaccination
- DHLPP-C vaccination
- Bordetella vaccination
- heartworm blood test
- skin scrapings or ear swabs (if necessary)
- fecal tests
- heartworm treatment (if necessary)
|
- other medication (if necessary)
- five day treatment of Panacur intestinal worming
- heartworm prevention medication
- flea prevention medication
- spay/neuter (if not already done)
- dewclaws removed (with spay/neuter)
- dental cleaning (with spay/neuter)
|
- hernia repairs or other medical procedures (if
necessary)
- pre-anesthesia bloodwork (on dogs having a spay/neuter
or other medical procedure requiring anesthesia)
- nail trims
- thorough ear exam
- range of motion exam of joints
- AVID identification chipping

If you add feed costs, kennels, bowls, leashes,
collars, and tag fees, each dog costs between $125-$650.
As you may guess, the fees charged
for our dogs may
not always cover expenses.
