Adopt a Dog

PETS, Inc. always has a huge selection of adoptable dogs. We make every effort to assist adopters in selecting dogs and puppies well suited for their personalities and lifestyles.  We will ask a great many questions, not so much to be nosey, but to be certain that we have not overlooked a potential problem when recommending a new companion animal. 

We do place unaltered dogs and puppies but with some restrictions.  A large deposit is required and a definite spay/neuter date will be set at the time of the adoption.  The adopter will receive a veterinary authorization form that authorizes the veterinarian to bill PETS, Inc. for the surgery.  The deposit is generally accepted in the form of a check or charge so that it can be held wiithout actually putting it through the bank.  We will hold the deposit  until the dog or puppy has been surgically altered.  At that time, the deposit is voided and, if requested, mailed back to the adopter. 

There is a risk involved in leaving this deposit.  If the dog or puppy is lost or stolen before being altered, the deposit will be forfeited.  We will use that money to spay or neuter another animal in its stead.  This effectively prevents our policy from ever resulting in additional births.

With the exception of new arrivals, all dogs over 4 months old are spayed or neutered before being put up for adoption.  They will have received two dewormers and all vaccines due.  

The adoption fee includes two dewormings, bordetella and all scheduled vaccines.  Adopters ;may return to our Adoption Center every three weeks to complete the vaccine series at no charge.  When the puppies reach  4 - 5 months of age we will send them to a  participating full-service veterinary clinic for a rabies vaccine and the spay/neuter surgery. 

(and a little more for purebreds)

This includes two dewormngs, two DHLPP vaccines, a rabies vaccine, bordetella and spay/neuter surgery.
