What the Adoption Package Entails

Health Check
The dogs we rescue are given a physical health check by the vet. Blood tests are done for adult dogs and they are also checked for tick fever and heartworm. Potential adopters will be informed of the full health status of the dog,  regardless of whether it is good or bad. This ensures that the adopter is fully aware of the health condition of the dog when they adopt it. Dogs with known health issues are treated before being put up for adoption.

Vaccinations
All dogs for adoption would have received at least 1 vaccination. Annual vaccination is mandatory to immunise the dog against fatal diseases. Puppies between the age of 2 to 5 months require 3 vaccinations, 1 month apart in their first year. ASD covers all vaccinations up to the point of adoption. Once the puppy or dog is adopted, the cost of vaccinations are borne by the adopter.

Microchipping
Microchipping is a painless method of implanting a small microchip in the dog’s neck that will give each dog an individual identification number. The microchip number is submitted to AVS at the point of licensing. This ensures that should the dog be lost and is subsequently found, the number can be scanned and the owner located.

Sterilisation
Sterilisation is mandatory and can be done once the dog turns 6 months old. If the dog has not been sterilised yet at the point of adoption, we will contact the adopter once the dog is of age to arrange an appointment with one of the vets under ASD (we are unable to pay for the procedure if the adopter decides to have it done at another vet). Sterilisation significantly reduces the risk of tumours and cancers from developing later in their lives. The procedure is a one time operation and is relatively risk free. An unsterilised female dog has a 50% chance of developing womb or breast cancer (these statistics have been scientifically proven) while an unsterilised male dog can contract testicular or prostate cancer. The onset of these cancers or tumours usually occur when they reach middle age (5 years and above) and surgery then would have significant risks.
