If you have adopted a puppy too young for this procedure, you will be given a voucher to be redeemed at a participating SPAR veterinary facility. If the adult dog you have adopted has a scheduled spay or neuter appointment, you are required to honor this appointment. If an appointment has not been scheduled, or procedure not performed due to the health of the animal, you will have 45 days from date of adoption to comply. Should the procedure not take place within this time frame, you are in violation of this contract and SPAR will take the necessary steps to reclaim the animal. Adoption fee will not be refunded.

Puppies/kittens require a series of 3 vaccines spaced 3 weeks apart. This is included in your adoption fee. The 1st set of vaccines is given at 6 weeks of age, along with the initial fecal test and deworming. All subsequent fecal tests and deworming medication, if needed, is the responsibility of the adopter. The 4th set of vaccines is a booster shot and is at the adopter’s expense, if suggested by the veterinarian. Should the adopter choose to have the remaining shots at another veterinary clinic other than the one approved by the rescue, payment responsibility is that of the adopter. Adopter must submit proof to SPAR that this service was performed within the proper timeline. By initialing, I understand what services are included in the adoption fee and that any other service or medication is my responsibility.  Initial below (if applicable).
