You can expect a warm Adopters Welcome approach to companionship where each adoption is filled with resources to set an adopter up for success. For more information about adopters welcome, click here. Is the animal that I am adopting altered and/or vaccinated? YES! Every animal that leaves our care will be microchipped, dewormed, given flea/tick prevention, spay/neutered, and vaccinated (based on age and length of stay). If I am interested in adopting an animal from you, can you hold them for me? No, unfortunately we do not place holds on any of our animals and all animals are on a first come first serve basis. Why are some animals priced higher than others? Some animals may have a higher adoption fee to help support other animals in their journey to finding a home. What is Pet Network’s commitment to their animals? Pet Network is dedicated to placing all healthy and safe animals into loving homes. We remain committed to these animals and will never euthanize an animal due to time or space constraints. In instances where an animal is suffering with an incurable or untreatable condition with no likelihood of recovery, or exhibits behaviors that make it unsafe for the community, euthanasia may be thoughtfully considered as the most compassionate, humane and/or safest option for the animal and larger community. In addition, Pet Network’s pledge to care for every animal that we place in a home remains in effect indefinitely - we will always welcome an animal back no matter how much time has passed.

Through our Shelter Medicine at Pet Network, we provide all of the vaccinations, exams, procedures and more all before you adopt from us. Shelter Medicine Why Adopt From Us? All animals receive the following: A wellness exam from the veterinary team with medical diagnostics and treatment as needed Spay or neuter surgery A microchip that is registered for you at time of adoption All animals are started on a once-a-month preventative that defends against Fleas, Ticks, Heartworm, Ear Mites, Hookworms, Roundworms, and Sarcoptic Mange All core vaccines and vaccines appropriate for the age and species and risk Preventative deworming for roundworm, hookworm and some protozoa, along with further testing if symptoms are present. Fear free medication to help with adjustment to a new home as needed Counseling and post adoption support 10% discount at the Pet Network Community Hospital Additional services and treatments administered depending on age, species, and symptoms: Treatment for dental disease if gingivitis, periodontal disease, loose teeth or calculus buildup is noted by the veterinary team FIV/FeLV testing of cats Bloodwork for seniors Heartworm and tick disease testing for animals from high risk areas determined by the American Heartworm Society (AHS) and Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) Post Adoption Medical Care We provide post adoption medical care to our animals up to 30 days post adoptions for medical concerns related to previously described conditions or conditions arising due to its shelter stay such as surgical incision rechecks, suture removal, kennel cough or URI symptoms, and fear free medication needs. We do not cover vaccine boosters as we urge our adopters to use this opportunity to get their new animals established at their family veterinarian and discuss wellness needs (see AAHA and AVMA wellness recommendations linked below). Boosters are scheduled to occur 2 weeks after initial vaccination while at the shelter due to the high risk of exposure while in a shelter setting. Once you bring your animal home, the recommendation is to have any needed boosters scheduled anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks after their previous vaccination. If you are unable to get an appointment with a veterinarian in that time frame, please contact us. Canine AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Feline AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Fear Free Care and Fear Free Medication There is a very positive, growing movement in shelter and veterinary medicine called Fear Free. This aims to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress in animals that is associated with new situations including being in a shelter environment. Your new animal might have been started on medication to reduce fear, anxiety, stress and/or frustration (FAS) while in the shelter environment. We think this animal will also benefit from some help adjusting to their new home or foster home. We have prescribed a short-term supply of medication to ease the transition. This short-term supply may be recommended for up to a couple of weeks in the new home. If your new animal was started on fear free medication while with Pet Network Humane Society, the medication will be sent home with instructions. Long-term medication should not be needed once the animal has adjusted to the new home. The most common side effect is sedation, which will resolve when the drug is stopped, or the dose reduced. If unwanted side effects are noted, or your animal is adjusting well, we recommend you slowly decrease your animals’ medication over several days to allow a slow transition and to be able to notice any change in the animals needs during this transition. Retrovirus (FIV/FeLV) Testing Because recommendations will differ based on each person’s home situation we recommend you speak with your veterinarian or make an appointment at our community hospital for help determining what is best for your new cat and your family. After Surgery Pet Care Instructions Read our full list of Post Surgery Instructions & Restrictions. AAHA and AVMA Wellness Recommendations Recommendations by the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association preventive healthcare guidelines task force. Canine AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Feline AAHA-AVMA preventive healthcare guidelines Noncore vaccines include FeLV, leptospirosis, influenza and more. Additional testing or treatment than what was done at Pet Network Humane Society might be recommended based on your location, lifestyle and health needs of the humans and other animals in the home. Please speak to your veterinarian to determine what wellness plan is best for you and your new friend(s). Dental Health Dental health is a commonly overlooked part of an animal’s overall health and wellbeing. Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats – by the time an animal is 3 years old, he or she will very likely have some early evidence of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect the pet’s mouth. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include kidney, liver, and heart disease, diabetes, and infection. Additionally, the pain of dental disease can make some animals become irritable or aggressive. Every animal that would benefit from a dental work up and procedure (due to periodontal disease, gingivitis, tooth mobility, and/or moderate or severe calculus) receives a comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment (COHAT) while under Pet Network Humane Society's care. A COHAT includes full mouth radiographs (x-rays), a veterinarian exam of all the teeth and radiographs, extractions when needed, teeth cleaning and polishing while under general anesthesia. This not only guarantees the pet is in its best medical condition when adopted but also eliminates the burden of the cost of a dental procedure on the new owners. Is Pet Network Humane Society AAHA accredited? YES! Pet Network Humane Society's shelter medicine program is one of only 11 shelters nationwide to achieve AAHA accreditation, recognizing our commitment to providing the highest-quality care to animals in need—whether they're waiting for a loving home or receiving medical treatment in our shelter. February is Spay & Neuter Awareness Month! Spaying and neutering not only help control pet overpopulation but also provide numerous health and behavioral benefits for your furry friends. By choosing to spay or neuter your pets, you’re helping reduce the number of homeless animals and ensuring a healthier, happier life for your beloved companions.
