All animals adopted out by Big Dog Rescue will have been vet checked, current on vaccinations, and spayed or neutered. On occasion, alternative arrangements will be made when conditions neccessitate this basic care be delayed. All animals are required to be kept on heartworm preventative and a good diet for life.

Adoption donations range from $100 to $400. This donation helps defray the costs of veterinary care given to your pet prior to adoption. This care includes some or all of the following, but may not be limited to, all vaccinations, heartworm testing, fecal testing and worming if necessary and surgical procedure for spay/neuter. Your adoption donation also helps to feed, house and provide veterinary care for the animals still waiting to be adopted, and is NON-REFUNDABLE. You are not buying a dog or cat, you are making a donation.
