OTHER INFORMATION
We understand that pets are sometimes lost and found by their rightful owners. If an animal is reclaimed by their owner before the final release to a new adopter, the adoption may be canceled.
All adoptions are done in person on a first-come, first-served basis. As a responsible pet owner, visiting a veterinarian for follow-up care within 7 days of adoption is crucial.
To find a specialist in your area, use epvma.org.
