Q. Where does my $150.00 adoption fee go?
A. Each dog that is adopted has been vetted, is current on immunizations, is micro-chipped for identification, and is either spayed or neutered, or is eligible for a rebate if surgery is done after adoption is complete. In addition, fees help to care for and feed all the animals in shelter or foster care.
Q. What if I find out that my adopted dog is sick after I get it?
A. All vet fees are payable by the new owner unless we receive a letter from the vet certifying that the animal was sick at the time of adoption. In that case, the dog may be returned for a full refund of fees. This is why we ask that you take the dog to your own vet within a week of adoption. We try very hard to make sure that each animal up for adoption is in good health and current on all immunizations and heartworm prevention.
Q. What if my new dog doesn't get along with my other pets or my children?
A. We ask for a detailed application before approving you for an adoption. In this way, we screen ahead of time to help assure a good placement. All dogs have different characteristics, just as people do, and some do not do well with other animals or with small children, for example. In the event that you and we have tried, to the best of our abilities, to make an excellent match between dog and adoptive home, and a serious problem still exists, the dog may be returned, but there will be no refund of fees. We all want forever homes for these dogs that have been abandoned, neglected, and/or abused.
Q. Why does the dog need to be "fixed"?
A. Not only does Texas law require that these rescued dogs be spayed or neutered, but also, we hope that this required procedure will help make people more aware that there are literally thousands of unwanted animals roaming our streets. The only way we will ever make sure that every animal has a home, is to pass and enforce spay and neuter laws. Killing should not be any animal's form of birth control.
Q. Can I get some ideas about how to housetrain my new puppy?
A. Here are 5 tips for housebreaking your new pet:
1. Keep in mind that most puppies can't "hold it" for more than a few hours and plan your day accordingly. 2. Proper crate training will help your pooch not to "go" in her "bedroom." 3. When an accident occurs, be sure to eliminate the odor instead of masking it. If your dog detects her scent, she will return to the scene of the crime! 4. Keep an eye on your new pup to learn how to detect an imminent potty. 5. Praise and a puppy treat for a job well done must be given immediately or your dog will miss the association between behavior and reward.
