Boarding Fee And Vaccination Fees
Boarding Fee
Vaccinations
Intake protocol dictates vaccines get administered to each animal coming to the shelter. They get vaccinated as soon as they arrive. The only exception is feral or fractious animals that cannot be handled safely. We have no way of knowing whether an animal will be with us for two hours or two weeks or more. Each animal will get vaccinated for their own and every other animal's protection. Be prepared to cover this cost.
