Vet Care:
  •  All vetting MUST be approved prior to making an appointment or going in. 
  • Our funds go 100% to our dogs as we are ALL volunteers however we need to use the funds wisely in order to be able to continue successfully rescuing as many dogs as we do. Please let me know if you are unsure of the approved vet near you.
  • Covered vetting includes the following: DHLPP, Rabies, Bortadella, microchip, fecal test with deworming if necessary, spay/neuter, HW test for dogs over one year of age.
  • The rescue pays for all heartworm positive dogs to be treated with heartguard. 
  • We also treat dogs with various forms of mange (demadex or sarcoptic) and will treat for other illness if needed.
  • It will be the foster’s responsibility to provide routine heartworm preventive as well as flea treatment for their foster. To defray these costs you can claim them on your taxes as pre-new laws thanks to the federal government here is some information as please refer to www.irs.gov  and http://voices.yahoo.com/how-claim-pet-care-as-tax-deduction-11038884.html
Holistic treatments: 
  • We do recommend that all fosters have L-lysine and Olive leaf on hand.
  • L-lysine treats kennel cough and other forms of colds and is great to use as an immune system booster.  I do recommend putting your dog on L-Lysine for at least 10 days when your new foster arrives, this helps boost their immune system and prevents them from getting any type of URI.
  • Olive leaf is used as an antibiotic and is great to use in two week intervals.
  • To improve the coats of your dog, fish oil and salmon oil are options.
