Adopting a Dog from a Shelter
November 29th, 2009
If you are an animal lover, you may want to benefit animal rescue shelters – there are several ways to do so, one is by adopting a homeless pet.
Before you adopt a dog from a homeless animal shelter there are some things you want to make sure are covered in the contract:
All pets should be spayed or neutered, or if too young, it should be included in the contract to be done at a later date.
The dog should have a temperament test, and full disclosure of any medical or behavioral problems should be given to you.
The dog should have been examined by a veterinarian and the results of the health test given to you.
The dog should be up-to-date with vaccinations and rabies shots.
If you, for any reason, decide the dog is not right for you, you must be able to return it to the same shelter.
