Additional adoption info

ADOPTION AGREEMENT:

As part of the process of selecting an SPCA pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. After the application is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption agreement promising to humanely care for your animal. All cats and dogs are altered prior to adoption.

ANIMAL HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS:

All dogs which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* canine distemper (Adenovirus Type 2)
* parainfluenza & Parvovirus (DPP)
* leptospira bacterium
* Bordetella brochiseptica (kennel cough) intranasal.
All cats which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus - I)
* Calicivirus
* Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia)
If pets are old enough, they also are given a rabies vaccination (Required by NY State law). The SPCA has regular veterinary care available for all animals and makes every effort to ensure that the animals are healthy before being made available for adoption. Cats are screened for Feline Leukemia. Dogs and cats all receive general worming medication.

DOG LICENSING:

All canines over six months of age are required, by New York State law, to be licensed before they can leave the shelter. Licensing is administered by the individual towns but can be completed at the SPCA at the time of adoption. The charges for licensing are not refundable if the dog is returned to the SPCA.

AFTER-ADOPTION SUPPORT:

We hope that your new pet will be an enjoyable addition to your household. If you have any questions about pet care, please feel free to ask the shelter staff or your veterinarian. We also have many free pamphlets on caring for your pet available at the SPCA and can provide the names of local resources for training or behavior concerns.
