Additional adoption info

Each dog is vet checked to ensure there are no problems. If not spayed/neutered, we get that done. Potential adopters can see our dogs at our Meet and Greets twice per month. Home checks are required for any adoption. We give you 10 days before finalizing the adoption to ensure that the dog fits the family
