Taking Your Pet to the Vet

The SPCA cannot be held responsible for the health or temperament of any animal adopted from it. It is important to realize that the SPCA does attempt to accumulate the history of each animal that comes through our doors but this minimal amount of history should not be relied upon when it comes to the health and safety of your new pet.  It is highly recommended that you, as the person adopting the animal, present your new pet to a participating veterinary clinic of your choice within (7) seven days of adoption for a courtesy visit. This visit will include a COURTESY GENERAL EXAMINATION AND INITIAL VACCINATION.
