Question 6

What does my adoption fee cover?

Accepted Answer

Every SPACAR dog and cat is screened for heartworms/tick/infectious diseases, vaccinated, dewormed, started on preventatives and spayed/neutered. All dogs are microchipped and cats can be for $10 extra. Your adoption fee also helps us save other dogs and cats with illnesses and injuries that can be costly.
